Late 80s and early 90s AT cars were not that reliable, most are just 4-speed. Late 90s were much better.

I had owned 90s tech AT cars before and they have proven useful for me. I wouldn't call them sh*t. All had 4-speed AT trannies, by the way.

2002 Nissan Granduer Exalta, 1.6L
1997 Ford Expedition AWD, 4.6L
2001 Honda Accord VTi-L, 2.3L

Had to part with them. The Exalta was sold as I was going to the US. The Exped was sold as I was going home to RP. I had no more place to park the Accord. The Fiesta Ecoboost also had to go as we got an ASX which will eventually had to go also.
