I have a 94 gt conv. automatic with about 87,000 miles on it. My automatic transmission feels stiff when i shift it into drive when its cold out. Now it did this last winter ocassionaly, but now its been doing it every time i start my car. I can get around it by putting it into Nuetral for a few seconds, then into drive and it will shift fine for the rest of the day. When i say it feels stiff going into gear, i mean that the shifter doesnt want to move. Im going to put in some new tranny fluid and see if that gets me through the winter. Im planning on putting a built up aode this spring, and i want to know if only the 94-95 transmissions will work or if any of the fox's will work. I also heard that the 3.8L auto tranny will bolt up to a 5.0 block. If anyone can help me out, let me know, thanks.

Looks like you are modding the car.... don't go cheap on the tranny rebuild. You'll end up spending more in the long run.

I would lubricate your shifter cable. Check to make sure it's not binding.
