Hi,
This can be the result of a few things. First, have you checked the transmission fluid condition and level? If not, start with that.
Here is a link that explains in general how it's done:

Transmission fluid expands when it gets hot, so that may be why it works best once the engine is warm.
If that checks good, I need to know if the check engine light is staying on while the engine is running. If it is, I recommend having the can-bus scanned. CAN stands for controller area network. I have a feeling the transmission line pressure may be low, and this should indicate if there is a code related to it.
The CAN basically is nothing more than a few wires that connect the different modules. It will retrieve codes regardless of the module storing them. Here is a link that explains how it's done.

Let me know. Also, if you have questions, let me know that as well.
Take care,
Joe
