2010 Camaro l99

Every morning the car seems like it will flare the 3-4 shift very slightly and only under very light throttle. This happens ONE time and one time only until the next morning. Literally the first and only 3-4 shift from the turn of the key. After that it shifts like butter and has no issues whatsoever. The car is 100% stock down to the tire. No tune. No mods. Trans was serviced 4K miles ago.

Any ideas? Is this something to be concerned about?

No. The shifting at cold temperatures is intentionally different from warm. Shifting gets more crisp after trans fluid warms up.

Thanks for the reply!

I talked to a very reputable shop here in AZ and they checked the fluid level and said everything checked out fine. They also said not to worry about it.
