Subject:slow auto shifting in cold weather
From:Clarence J Falarski

!990 multi, automatic transmission. I have noticed that as the weather gets colder the automatic transmission takes longer to go thru the gears finally shift into high.
Is this because the transmission oil is getting thicker with the temperature falling, ergo the slower shifting.
And if this is the case should I let it warm up in drive for a few minutes to let the oil warm up a bit.

thanks 
clarence
