I am aware that my car shifts irregularly when its cold. But after warming it up, it was still doing the same thing. I would have to take my foot of the gas and go real slow for it to catch itself. Can this be fixed?

The fluid is had it basicly you need to change the transmission fluid.
Have you checked the fluid level recently when cold first thing in the morning.

You need to provide the year of the car as things change from model to model and year to year.

You have valves inside the transmission and electronic controls inside the transmission. When cold, valves do not work because the fluid is too thick. Once warm the fluid thins out and allows tranny to shift OK. You can burn your tranny up by not letting it warm up.

too heavy a motor oil can cause hard shifting also,but when its cold out let your car warm up longer before you take off,it might help

Dale-there is a 'staple' that holds the shift handle onto the shaft, it is on the front side of the handle. Use a pick or a small screwdriver of some type to pull that staple out, and use a spray lubricant on the mechanism for the shift lock release on the shaft.

you can try flushing it using Seafome and replace your filter and fluid adding some trans tune with the new oil can git this things from most part stores . Hope this helps.

Some modern vehicles when change the shift pattern while the engine is cold, by keeping the vehicle in a lower gear for a higher rpm while the engine is cold, the engine warms up faster, to reduce emissions. (Emissions are higher while the vehicle is cold)

What you may be experiencing is that the shift from first to second occurs at a higher rpm when the engine is cold than when warm. This can lead to an abrupt or hard shift. At higher speeds, the shift between gears either may not be changed, or just does not feel as hard as the 1st to 2nd shift.

If this is the case, then your dealer is telling you the truth and there is nothing he can do.

First thing to do,try to pump your clutch before you shift into 1st gear then if you feel makes better, most probably you have problem with your hydraulic clutch system, check the clutch line if there is an evidence of fluid leaking or it could be internal leak.

Second thing to do, check your transmission oil, may be it' s too old or you use a thick oil thats why when cold its hard to shift then when the engine rich the normal temperature(warm) the oil become thin and the shifting will smooth. Remember the very old oil become thicken and the purity is gone and can cause of hard shifting. in this regards i suggest you to change the transmission oil and check the used oil if there is small peace of metals, then you are in big trouble,

check battery i had hard time starting when cold and took battery in and when i bought it used they had a smaller battery in the car and was not turning the car over. it happened when the battery was weak when it got cold
