Just wondering about my car when it is freakin cold outside. when its cold my car gets grumpy, i go to pull out of my parking sopt at school in reverse(DUH) and when i go and put it into drive it wont shift the rpms will sky rocket but no first(Auto trans). any way ill put it in 2 and then drive a little way to the stop sign and stop then put it in D and ill drve away whistling. i just wanna know if im killing some part of my car or if its just because its cold.

i changed mine a few months ago and mine still does it here and there when it's cold. i put it in D and it will rev a little before engaging, but then it's fine after that

two possible things one the converter is going bad or two your solenoids are going in the transmission... i had the same issue with my maxima i had no first gear for months then i took all the connector going to the solenoids and clean them out with contact cleaner and i had my first gear back again....

well I would street race my neon for sometime and I started to have the same prob till my car wouldn't move. After looking at everything I found out what it was and that I didn't have much of a trans left lol. Only spent like another 2k on it lol but it runs very well.
