cold transmission shifting

When temps in my area are 30 degrees or below, and my crd has been sitting for awhile, it takes a long time for it to shift into the last gear. It finally shifts into the final gear when it reaches normal operating temperatures while cruising on the highway. Any ideas why?

Normal operation. It won't go into overdrive until trans. reaches a certain temp. Is Chysler the only trans that does this?

My Mercedes ML would do the same thing. Very Normal.

Don't stress it.. I live in Canada and I get the same thing every time I start it in the winter..

The nissan i owned also did the same thing so i dont think it is chrysler specific.
