automatic trans. shifting problem

Hey, my first time using this site. I was looking for help when i found it. The last two mornings have been pretty cold here, and on the first morning, i was starting up the grade i have to climb on my way to work and my truck would not shift after i hit about fifty miles and hour. It finally started shifting after driving 15 minutes or so, my engine was reving pretty high. The next morning it did the same in first gear, didn't want to change. Finally started changing. It does fine in the evenings on my way home. I've not had the truck since it was new, so i don't know when or if the trans. fluid has been changed, 145k. Does anyone have an idea about this, thanks

what tranny, vehicle? If it has not been changed the fluid definetly needs changing after 145K. What does it look like/smell like on the dip stick.
