Some 'bad' things to look for when test driving a 9000 automatic:

Whirring noise...normally the trans is very quiet in all gears. Whirring
noise may indicate bad oil pump.

Irregular shifting or reving up between shifts.

A moments delay before the trans goes into Drive when shifting lever into
Drive, followed perhaps by a rough/abrupt engagement.

The trans itself seems to be reasonably robust (from a strength point of
view), it just has some problems that crop up after 80-120K miles.
