Klaus,
You`re right regarding the practice of allowing the tranny to warm up before engaging "drive".
I always let my truck warm up a little after starting the engine for that very reason. The truck has a block heater as it "lives" outside & wife`s XC usually gets the garage(no block heater & I refuse to pay dealer $600).
This winter the XC has had to be mostly outside due to drifted roads into the ranch. The temps have been as low as -45C with wind chill. Car has always started up after new battery installed at Xmas. I cautioned LP to let car warm up, ie, tranny, before heading off to the city. Repairs are expensive enuff without transmission problems.
Thanks for posting an important message to those of us who live in a sub zero environment.
Rich
