Ya up here in Canada at times it gets to -30 degrees celsius and I do notice the tranny shifts different till warmed up, I figure cause the fluid is pretty cold it takes a little longer to flow till warm also with wind chill that affects it too not to mention driving into the wind.

Thanks for all your Alberta clippers and Polar Vortex. This year has been very mild so far.

Ya not much moves when that happens, I drive transit bus up here and dang busses break down often.

I know mine will not shift in to OD until the engine is warmed up.

It'll shift to 4th, but torque converter lockup is disabled until trans temps are >75f
