Delayed Shifting when cold

99 Base Tiptronic

I've noticed a delay in shifting from 2nd to 3rd when the engine is cold. Once it reaches operating temp. (180-190) it shifts smoothly and without delay.

Also, when cold and shifting from 2nd to 3rd, there is a pause (for lack of a better term) almost like the transmission shifts twice between 2nd and third.

Again, when the engine is warmed up....no issues.

These things happen when the trans. is in Automatic and not in Manual.

Any ideas??

I suppose I should start with the transmission fluid and filter??

Thanks all
