The auto gearboxes are weak on the earlier 2.5TD engines - they foolishly fitted the AR25 gearbox instead of the stronger AR35. Fortunately, you can fit an AR35 from a 3.0 or 3.2 petrol to the 2.5TD, but you have to swap over the torque convertor and bell housing. Or convert it to a manual, which is much better suited to that engine TBH. If yours is the later 2.5TDI 24v common rail one, that came with a much stronger 5 speed auto.
Other than that, it'll be corrosion as mentioned.
Good luck!
