if i remember correctly its because the transmission fluid doesnt warm up right away. so once the fluid is warm the transmission will feel smoother. mine doesnt grind but it feel rough when i first start mine up also. just let it warm up a little bit more and you should be smooth all the time.

yeah, I get something like that. When I take it out of the garage to warm it up, when taking it out of reverse, it's a little hard to take out. but that's it.

what snipaz2420 is probably true.

I had that grind last winter but switched to synthetic tranny fluid for this winter. The problem is gone even when the temp is below 0F
