Mk1 Auto Box 4Th Gear Problem

[alan_131]

Hi All

Thinking about buying a '99 Galaxy auto.  The attraction is the price, which I expect to be low because it has a problem with the auto box, and it's quite low mileage - around 120K. Normally I'd be looking for another manual but funds are very tight.

The symptoms are -  

 

Delay/problem in changing up or down from the top gear ; struggles to get up any steep incline at speed

 

Anybody any suggestions what might cause this, or if I should take a chance/ run away?

 

Thanks in advance

Run very quickly, not a good idea.
