When was the last time that you checked the transmission fluid? How many miles on the car? When was the fluid and filter changed last?

Fine, then what are the answers?

Could be valve body gummed up. Or O-ring seals getting hard when cold. Take the valve body out, take it apart, clean it thoroughly and put it back in. It's pretty easy.
Yes, I'm still waiting for your answers to my questions.

I had a similar problem with pickup, had it to the dealer who said it was ok, and at work--powertrain hydramatic. The tech there said it was ok---when cold the thermistor changed the shift points and also delays the tcc until all is warm. who knows? But the trans never failed and is still in service. The other guys on this group are real techs---I'm not by far and hope I'm not too far off base.
