fokker

When its cold outside, and the Truck was not turned on for a while (2-3 Days) and i Start my 2000 Triton XLT V8
then ist seems normal, like the Engine comes online.

But the Transmission....
With No Pedal depressing (Gas-Pedal)
It needs several (3-7) seconds to tends forward.

Its like decluched,
When i push the Gas pedal to 1,5 - 2000 Rpm the Transmission wakes up and makes forward force after 1-2 seconds.
But at idle ist needs some Time.

IS THIS NORMAL?

(Oil is serviced last year, (its nice red)) And Oil level is normal)

Was the truck warm when this happened? I know these trans can be sluggish when cold

I haven't been in less then 32 F, but I have not had an issue with this either

only when its Cold outside, and the whole truck is cold, after 1 day standing.

I will try to make a Video of it, so u can see, what i mean.

Mine did this when the fluid was low in the cold

just before i tried to make a Video, hmmm Normal function, Starting -> select D -> Forward Force immediately.
(i runned the Truck yesterday, Outside Air Temp 37,4 °F, (3°C))

I think it is when the Truck stands around for more than 2 Days, and all the fluid in the Transmission runs together, and after Startup it takes some time for Pressure buildup. And i also think, the colder the Fluid is the more time it takes.
