Hi people,

A couple days ago my slushie deceided that it was in love with first gear.
When I first start off (cold slushie) I can not get the thing to shift to
2nd for about 2 minutes.  Wiggling and moving the shifter throught the
PRND21 has no effect - it doesnt seem to be a linkage thing.  Suddenly, it
gives up and acts normal, shifting smoothly as it always has.  The problem
does not return until the car has been sitting for quite a while, so far not
until the next day.  This has happened three days in a row.  I am a slushie
moron, but have performed moron level diagnostics without any clues turning up.

Any ideas?
