Everytime I drive my 96 ES3.5 after it has sat for a night at the first stop sign i hit it lurches into gear and it kind of hesitates. What could be the problem?? Ill hit the gas and ill feel nothing dor a sec and then it bangs into gear and catches.

Had this happen to my 95 LHS at 55K miles. Had an extended warranty from CarMax and took it in and said fix it. The tranny shop they use said seals worn and had to be rebuilt. After rebuild I installed an external oil cooler and removed two qts. of oil and replaced with Amsoil synthetic tranny fluid. This was 2-1/2 years ago and no problems yet but I've only put 6K miles on car since rebuild so who knows. Does you tranny work OK after the oil gets hot? How many miles on unit? Have you changed oil and filter lately?
