93 explorer transmission
i bought a 93 ford explorer with a new ford transmission with 30k on it but has been sitting for six months. i havent changed the fluid in it yet but when i drive it early in the morning it gets stuck on first get for awhile and shifts normal after that ones the transmission warms up could it be just the fluid from sitting for 6 months.

Sounds like a vacuum modulator. Pull the vacuum line off the modulator and see if there is fluid inside. If there is you will need a new modulator, not too expensive. You should get the fluid level checked, and you should be about due for a fluid change.
