Developing a tranny problem. It seems to slip in first after the engine is hot, doesn't slip cold. I noticed this after a 200 mile trip the other day. Tranny fluid was replaced as well as the filter 6 mos ago, tranny is set in summer gear range, any suggestions? 2000 e 430

tcu?

This might seem a little far fetched, and you may have already tried it, but did you try resetting the TCU to see if it helps to adapt back to normal driving habits?
After the 200 mile trip it could have gotten used to other driving habits...I reset mine after a 320 mi round trip and I noticed the difference..but I didn't experience the hot/cold issue..so like I said, far fetched but might be worth a shot. Best of luck
