Those ZF boxes are pretty good and are used in other car makes apart from GM Saabs. They should go for way longer than 90k without major problems. Sounds like you might have trouble with the electric servo operated valves. Could just be varnish causing a valve to stick, or worse a broken or bodgy spring, or worn bore. You can damage the transmission pretty quickly operating it with faulty shifter valves.
