Angry Need heat!!

You may or may not know, but i have one of the most defective abused misused disfunctional duct taped transmission on earth. With that being said im trying to solve the MAJOR disfunction. My engine/transmission take forEVER to warm up to good operating tempuratures. As a result my transmission doesnt like to shift when its cold. Id say it takes about a good 5 to 10 minutes of houston driving to get it shifting like its SUPPOSED TO. is there ANY way to get my transmission/fluid to get up to temp faster? or am i totally ranting out my *** and that has nothing to do w/ my shift problem at all?? any help is great guys, thanx

What's probably happening is your tranny has an internal leak somewhere. And it has to wait for a seal to swell up to block whatever is leaking so the fluid can build up enough pressure to shift correctly. The onyl way to fix this is to rebuild the tranny.
