[FWDLK] TORQUEFLITE OPERATION QUESTION

[Dave Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed,

I had that exact same problem once in my 64 Dodge driver years ago. The 
colder it got the longer it stayed stuck in first. Once it shifted, it 
was fine afterwards until it cooled off again. I assumed it was caused 
by varnish in the valve body sticking a check ball.

It went away forever immediately with a fliud change.
