ZF Tranny Failure Modes??

I have a '91 9000 CDT. Lately after finding my Trans fluid a whole quart low and after topping up, I am observing the foll:
1. Slow take up from a stop
2. On one occasion, I did not get enough accel. to pull out into traffic and waited and about 4 seconds later the driveline responded with hefty kick in the a..
3. At times when accelerating up an on-ramp I dont get enough power even though the boost is high - almost like the engine mgmt sys. was cutting back on fuel due to knock - only this happens much more often / prolonged than I am used to seeing in the past. But when this happens the engine does not over-rev.
4. On a couple of occasions after shifting into R there was no drive. Shifting to N and back to R got the car moving
PLEASE ADVICE. Should I start preparing for a tranny replacement.
BTW I have had broken pieces of a 2" dia shim (as reported by others) found on my drain magnet during fluid changes over the last 3 years.
Thanks in advance
