Some Mopar transmissions have torque converters that leak down overnight. Because they fill only in gear(real slow) and in neutral.
I used to start the engine then put the gearshift in neutral until the engine oil pressure gauge showed good pressure, after about 3 seconds, then drive away in my '92 W250. Drove it like that for 4 years without any problem.

the engine oil pressure is not the transmission oil pressure though! :(
