Why does a transmission not shift until the car is fully warm even when the fluid and the solenoids were just changed?
Torque converter or the transmission oil pump getting worn or a valve in the transmission is sticking.
What would cause the automatic transmission not to shift until engine is fully warm?
Had problem with 86 Lincoln not shifting properly when cold. I assumed it was because the fluid was thicker and would be more affected by a clogged filter. I had the transmission flushed and the filter cleaned and it worked perfectly from then on.

Why does 2001 Hyundai xg300 hesitate or sometimes stall when not warm enough?
You should never run your car when it is not warm enough. More than likely you need a transmission fluid change, and the filter as well. Which is quite easy, but I would advise you to never run your car until it is fully warm enough for the car to be driveable.

1997 grand am transmission won't shift until warm?
that's not good at all! it sounds like your transmission is starting to go. when the engine is cool the transmission fluid is thicker and is settled. when it warms up it is thinner making it easier to shift it. the best thing you can do is take it to a shop and ask them to do a transmission flush. it'll by you a little more time and it is worth it! shouldn't be anymore than $150. just ask for a quote up front. other than replacing the whole transmission, that is really your only option. and It'll give you a better idea of whats going on. good luck!
