My cars been givin me a lil trouble on cold starts and I'm not sure if its the tranny givin me trouble. I used to just be able to start it rpms with be around 1200 for 10 seconds then drop to normal idle rpms around 800 or so I guess. It idles great however when I put it in OD and go to accelerate it feels like it has a hesitation or just doesn't wanna go at all but it only last for maybe half a second if that and then it picks back up and goes on its way, this only occurs in 1st gear. By the time I make it down my street roughly a mile before turning and it goes to downshift in first I sometimes feel like the tranny doesn't want to and it does the hesitation thing one more time then picks back up as it did before. This problem only occurs once or twice each time upon a cold start and after that it shifts and downshifts flawlessly everytime. I've been letting it warm up for about 2 or 3 minutes longer now and problem has gone away pretty much I'm curious of I'm not allowing enough time for tranny fluid to get built up or what.
What finally got me a lil worried was leavin work today I didn't give it any warm up time hardly maybe 15 seconds went to leave didn't hesitate accelerating in first it then shifted in second fine and I had to slow down for traffic and again I don't think it kicked down in first and when i went to accelerate the rpms went up like I was in neutral I just tapped the brakes and it then I guess kicked in gear and let me go on my way no problem after that on the rest of the way home. The only other info I can really give on what else its doing is going from Drive to Reverse or switching into any gear pretty much the rpms like to drop between 400 and 600 for a sec and then they pick back up. Could it possibly be the torque converter giving me these issues? I'm really at a loss on this one. Thanks in advance guys.
