Auto rangie gearbox prob? URGENT PLEASE

What can cause a 90 RRC to be reluctant to leave 1st gear every time it's started from cold etc? Or as
the seller says, every journey?

Is it an easy fix or terminal decline of the box?

It's an auto BTW!!!

Sticking governor assembly, a common fault I'm afraid mate.
Cure - live with it or strip the rear casing from the box and replace it.
