Patty,

I have 90 Multivan with auto, you may lose 2-3 mpg because of the automatic
otherwise I have found the automatic quite satisfactory.  There is a seal
between the differential and autotrans that sometimes fails but other than
that I like the automatic.  If everything else looks good on this van I
wouldn't let the automatic be to much of a concern.

Good Luck

Tim
