What specifically are the ZF problems? 700 86

What specifically are the problems with the ZF trans, how do they fail? I understand the problem with cooking the clutch packs by revving in neutral but what else. I'm new to the 740 but the ZF trans is one of my favorite features, just right shift speeds and not overly soft like a Buicks or overly harsh like the early Mercedes. I also love the lock up torque converter, this trans is a manual at speeds over 50, with less heat and energy loss. Mine has 162k and shifts / drives perfect.
