TRANS SHIFTING ISSUES
My 05 sat for a few days, cooler weather around the freezing mark and on its 1st 1-2 shift it kind of flared up. On its second 1-2 shift it just slipped then hit hard. It did this a few times then once warmed up it was fine. I drove the snot out of it and it shifted flawlessly. Fluid level is good and doesn't seem to be burnt. Any ideas?
Thanks

130,000 miles. I wasn't driving it hard when cold but was when it was hot (shifted fine hot). Don't know about the service and fluids. Could it be just a flyuid issue?

Yes, it could be just a fluid issue. It might be just too low, or too high fluid level. If you don't know about the service/fluids, I'm sure you're not an original owner. Sometimes - people just stop by quick lube places to change the fluids in they're vehicles. It does work just fine on 99% of the vehicles, but on the 6.0 with the torqueshift tranny it requires a little extra knowledge, and I'm afraid that in most cases those places doesn't have that.
That extra knowledge is : MERCON SP fluid ONLY in the torqueshift tranny!!!
