Like any mechanical component in your car, the gearbox will start giving signs if it's about to throw a fit. From my own experience, my ZF auto gave these signs before the torque converter gave up:- jerky upshifts, especially under part throttle;- clunky downshifts;- increased fuel consumption (slipping lock-up clutch);- funny "burning" smells after long drives; and- "clunking" noises when engaging drive.
