you need to take it to a tranny shop.

there are lots of things that could be the problem.

the flute valves are not moving in the valve body, but once the valve body heats up it expands enough for the valve to slide.

an electrical solenoid somewhere is not working when it's cold.

some seal is allowing fluid pressure to bleed off until everything is hot and swelled up.

good luck
