Below 40 degrees car shifts into reverse ok, when pit into drive it acts like its in 3rd or 4th gear, it moves very sluggishly. when placed into low gear and shifts are made manually, transmission works ok. After car is warm and is shut off and restarted transmission works perfectly, automatically shifting through the gears.
Transmission fluid has been changed.

sounds like a valve body issue. have a trans shop check it for you to verify. it may have to come out to be repaired.
