I have a great running corolla however about a year and a half ago it started developing an unusual shift problem. the car will NOT shift at all until the engine and transmission are up to full operating temp. even in the middle of summer I wont be able to get out of first gear until about 3-4 minutes of driving time and it finally decides to hit third about 5 minutes later. In winter it takes much longer and if it is cold enough it wont even reach third gear unless i stop, stall the tranny for a while to help heat it up and continue on. no matter how high i rev the engine it just doesnt shift until it starts to warm up. Any ideas?
