Is the engine running and idling OK (not too fast) when in park and neutral? A poorly running engine may cause the same problem. With any auto transmission problem it's always a good idea to change the oil if it's been in for a while and make sure that it's topped up correctly.
There's good advice on checking the oil and what oil to use here: http://www.mra-minis...mini/automatic/

I just read your other topic about the carb and poor performance. My 998 auto will do more than 62 mph! You really need to get this sorted before you splash out your hard-earned cash on a replacement torque converter.
