Post subject:  Cold weather....transmission?

Now that winter is setting in I have been noticing a small problem, and I'm hoping this isn't the beginning of transmission failure. It seems on a cold start first thing in the morning I can reverse out of my driveway, go into drive, drive to the first stop sign and slow down just fine...but when I get back on the gas it seems like as I accelerate it is still downshifting and I get an RPM surge and it will eventually catch very jerkily and then I can accelerate fine. If I make sure to come to a complete stop every time and wait 1 second it won't do this. After a about a minute of driving it won't do this at all.

Transmission fluid completely flushed about 6 months ago, never had a problem with it before.

I'll be sitting here waiting for a reply as well because I have the same issue. :shock:

Most people will tell you to wait longer for the trans to heat up before driving it. Something I don't necessarily agree with...so I'm not completely sure here.
