The only fix is to have the transmission rebuilt. Once the clutch packs wear out there is no fix other then replacement.

I recently had my transmission rebuilt. Before that I flushed the transmission with Seafoam trans-tune and refilled with a mixture of Valvoline high mileage trans fluid and a bottle of Lucas transmission fix. This "temporary fix" only lasted 150 miles.

and how do you expect to sell this = a trade in at dealer? private sale?
no test drives allowed?, trans blows on test drive you bought it?

If you want to waste money: get 4 qts of honde DW1 atf at dealer
measure amount drained as it varies from 3- 3.4 qts, and refill exactly

but whine, shudder, high rpm to force shift, all = time for the rebuilder shop and a ck for $2500 to fix it

super bad karma to off the car on a person without telling them about prob and cost to repair
Or the car you buy could have some hidden defect,, to bite you back~
