provided your symptoms indicate a dying gearbox (i dunno if that's so), fyi: new transmissions are unavailable; rebuilt only. there were incremental improvements to the gearbox over the years; whether or not going this route for you is worthwhile, i couldn't say.
the motor must come out to rebuild the gearbox; the labor involved is north of two grand.
the automatic transmissions seem to be generally regarded as inferior over on the c900 board.
if the car is in otherwise good condition, you like it, and the 'box is, in fact, dying, then i would invest in a re-build.
