03 AWD auto shifting sluggish when cold.

I've noticed lately when the weather is cold, that my vibe is hanging in lower gears when going from 0-40 MPH until it warms up. The fluid is at the right level and looks good. Anyone else have this problem? It doesn't take long for it to start shifting normal but it concerns me a little.

it's normal. It holds the lower gear to create more heat so the fluids get up to operation temp faster.and if you see a lowered salsa vibe running around with tinted windows beep... cuz its me...
