I haven't had any tranny problems (knock on wood

).
But, I have made an observation. In the morning when I go to work it is usually pretty cold out. When I start to drive and use the Autostick, it will take about a second to go from first gear to second gear after I tell it to. But, after a few minutes when the engine warms up, that one second time lapse disappears. My guess is that this is happening due to the cold temperature.
