Do all FMX transmissions slip the 2-3 shift in cold weather until warmed up?
This morning I noticed my transmission slipping on the 2-3 shift for the first few times until it warmed up. I think it may have done it a little bit last winter, but barely noticeable, now it's worse, but still not too bad. Why would it do that? Anything I can do about it? A few months ago I changed the trans fluid and filter, and that seemed to firm up the shifts a bit. It didn't slip before or after that though (weather was warm).
My old car, a '67 Gal with an FMX did the same thing. Only thing is that car had 200,000 miles on it, this one has 110,000 miles. The FMX in the '67 didn't start slipping until the second winter I had the car. So far this is the only real problem these small block Galaxies have that I've seen, other than the frame rails prone to rott under the doors (which my '67 had badly and my '68 is pristine).
