Failure at the accumulators would cause a HARD shift. After 22 years, it is very likely that the clutch piston seals are no longer pliable and cannot seal until the piston itself expands enough to close the leakage around them. Or teflon slip rings that transfer pressurized fluid from the stator to rotating parts may have worn to the end of their life. A reseal is in order - the condition of friction plates is only a guess until the unit is disassembled. They may still be usable.

Before you put one penny into repairing it - there are zillions of good AWs around for a reasonable cost. Ebay or Brickboard classifieds. AW-70; non-turbo , AW-71; turbo and a slight variant of it with V-6, AW-72L; B234 16 valve
