I just moved here to upstate NY from Florida. Got nice cool weather now and colder nights and mornings than my car has ever really experienced, and its only going to get worse as winter comes.
Anyway, I have noticed that when i start the car in the morning, and put the transmission in drive or reverse, it will sometimes not engage and stay in neutral until you give it a bit of throttle (1500rpm) or so until it will shift into 1st or R. The rest of the gears shift fine, including OD. Then when I come to a stop, sometimes the transmission will shift back into neutral and stay there until you give it gas or just engage into 1st by itself. It will do this until the engine has warmed up then everything is fine. I checked the fluid after the engine warmed up and I drove for half an hour and it was on the high end of normal just slightly over the line. I guess it never happened in FL because it was not cold enough. Is this a fluid issue or something more serious occurring?
Any input would be appreciated
