Aero Automatic

I have a 1996 Aero automatic. The car has 175,000 miles. The transmission has about 125,000 on it as it was replaced by the dealer at around 50k.
When I changed the fluid yesterday I noticed small metal particles in filter. I also saw small metal particles in the fluid when I wiped out the bucket I used to drain the old fluid.
The car has been shifting a bit harsh lately, so I assume the transmission is on the way out.
I notice that one of the site sponsors has rebuilds for $1750. Eriksson Industries also seems like a popular choice on this forum.
Questions:
How long before the transmission fails completely?
How long do rebuilt automatics typically last?
To make this a little more complicated I have a wrecked 1997 Aero 5 speed courtesy of woman in a Mercedes E350 who ran a red light and hit me broadside.
I guess I could convert the 96, but that looks like a much bigger project.
Thanks
