Most likely it has nothing at all to do with the transmission. 99% of "hard cold starts " has to due with the battery. Try cleaning the terminals, starter and relay/solenoid connections, and if you still have the problem. It's time for a new battery. Exceptions; if you live in EXTREMELY cold climate's, like Alaska, you may need a electric cord to the engine block to prevent the oil from getting too thick.
