i have no idea...i know this wont fix it but for the hell of it check your antifreeze to see what temperature you are protected down to.....i have mine at -30, or a little more since im in the adirondacks a lot.

i wonder if it could be your IAC valve, or MAF sensor....not sure though

thanks antifreeze is good to -35 and the iac is a good guess but i don't think that would put the trans in limp
