Before concluding that the tranny is on its way out, I would check all other componenents of the drive train..especially the differentials..

Were the tranny/differentials/transfer case serviced at 100K miles? If not, that was a big mistake...they should be flushed and replenished with fresh fluids at 100K miles..
