    Mileage is not an issue with a vehicle of this age. The rubber seals inside of the transmission harden with age and lose their ability to seal properly causing internal leakage and transmission failure. If the vehicle has not been driven for some time, it may take a few minutes to circulate the fluid through out the transmissions hydraulic system. Run the engine with the shifter in NEUTRAL and see if this helps. If not, you will have to take your vehicle to your local repair shop or Transmission Specialty Shop.
