75 Auto box failure

nperf · 26th March 2020, 17:34

Hello all
Driving along happily ( to collect some food) the engine raced a few times when the auto-box shouldn't have.
I stopped , then, no drive at all in any setting R,D,2,3 etc STUCK!
RAC towed me away to a garage where there was much sucking of teeth!
The car has been well loved for 12 years at least ...but I do not know when the auto box fluid was last changed

Could it be just this or could its twentieth year be its last? (only 90666 miles (genuine) No fault light or any warning.
Love to keep her if I can, but new box would be beyond my means!
Thanks for any feedback....John
