Tranny question

I've noticed when I am driving my X and before it has warmed up the transmission seems to shutter or chatter when I am going about 35 MPH with no load on it. It only seems to do this when the tranny is cold. Once the fluid has warmed up it works just fine. It feels like the torque converter is trying to lock up but can't. It only does it when driving about 35 MPH, at higher and lower speeds it is fine. Anybody else have this problem?

Tranny question

I do know that the tranmission will not allow the TQ to lock until it the fluid warms up to operating temp. Maybe that is what you are experiencing? If so, it should be normal.
