I have a 1998 Durango with a 5.2 engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle is parked outside. Sometimes when the temperature goes down around 20 degrees or colder, the shift into overdrive takes pretty long. The shift into second and third are normal, but the final shift into overdrive may take about 5 miles or so. After that the shifting is fine, and there is no problem in warmer weather. Question--is this the sign of a problem developing, and the cold temperature just making it worse, or can this be expected on very cold mornings ? The vehicle has 74,000 miles on it. I do plan on replacing the fluid and filter this spring.
