Alrighty. Does the clutch temp light mean its on its way out?

So if that tranny does decide to **** the bed how much would I be looking at for a new one? Are there any in the junkyards, or is that what usually send them to the junkers? How much labour would I be looking at? The ****ty thing is I need to get an auto as I wont be the only one driving it. Has anyone had an auto and NOT had problems with it? When you say they "die" past 100k miles what usually causes that? I didnt want to repair the old DL wagon as it was burning and leaking oil, had numerous exhaust leaks, and was extremely rusty. Also I was 1500km's from home so I couldnt do the labour myself. It would have been stupid to put money into it.

I was driving across the coutry last week and my old 88 DL decided to snap its CV shafts, so rather than repairing it, it went to the junkyard. It was $350 to fix and I only paid $500 for it. Anyway I have come across a '91 Just with 111,xxx km's on it. Its from an older lady in her 70's and it has always been dealer serviced. I took it for a spin and when I was driving it the "Clutch Temp" light flashed on for a second but then went off. Its the auto EVCS tranny, that I hear is far from great. Is there any major things I should be looking for? I have a turbo Nissan 240SX and I need a car to get me around in the harsh Canadian winter. Has anyone had problems with the clutch overheating? Thanks in advance.
