Default Cold Temperatures

I noticed when i first start my crossfire when its cold out and hasnt been drivin for at least 12 hrs and when i start to drive i notice that the transmission sometimes slips a little bit but returns to normal when the car is warmed up. Is this something to look out for or is this a normal thing?

Do you still have the original tranny fluid? If you have a lot of miles on your car, a fluid change may help. Good luck.

I hear the level being low also accounts for slippage. Find a way to check the tranny fluid level.

I have the same problem but it's only for a few blocks. I think it's just that the fluid is too thick in the cold.

Think I should get the fluid changed? How much does this usually cost?
