I live in very cold weather and never had a delay in my transmission. Sure sounds like seal leaking or converter drain back issues.

 

Sure it could be a seal. Maybe the cover for the low/reverse accumulator.

 

Thank you sir, the tbs being referenced calling out the accumulator, do you believe this must be done when i do perform a filter change in time. in the mean time i will let car warm up further as rushing it while cold does make car jerk aggressively into gear and could be another problem.


this stratus is my parents car- i am waiting to save up for a challenger !!
