 If the transmission is truly going out, will there be significant warnings

You never know when one is going to fail when over the 100k mark. When
changing the trans oil (every 30 to 60k) if it is silvery or brassy--its soon
to go south (even if your goin north). All need 3/4 clutch gear repl at some
point--I advise to do it when the clutch is done to save R&R labor or
unexpected breakdowns.
