Default Yet another tranny question

I have a '99 automatic with 164000 miles. For the last couple of weeks, it's been slow to shift into 2nd. But the problem disappears after a few minutes, when it's warmed up. Any ideas? Thanks.

You should chage trans filter and fluid and adjust the bands. Owners manual says it should be done every 37000 miles.
