Blame it on the cold? Transmission Problems

[promax/vennom#16]

Tim, I had the same thing happen to me with my 62 ford. It had a C6 in it and when I started the car and let it run (roughly 15 min.) it did not want to move.I checked the fluid level,there were no signs of leaks,linkage was tight,I figured it was due to the consistant cold temps.And like yours it seemed to have the most trouble in reverse .As soon as the temps were warmer and consistant, everything worked fine.I thought I was the only one that had that problem.Thats living in the northeast I guess?

Dave,
Thanks, that makes me feel better! I am not crazy! I will still top it off, and check everything out, but I guess the NE has an effect like that.

i live in connecticut aswell but never had that problem I pull the car out weekly to turn it over etc.
1 thing i will tell ya though.
the loose linkage or cable will eventually ruin an otherwise good tranny.
if your in between gears etc.
also will cause premature pump failure .
I know this cuz it happened to me before .
also if you dont have the kick down cable (detent cable ) properly installed or its missing altogether expect trans pump failure in your future.
