Sounds like the transmission filter is partially clogged. The colder temperature makes the fluid thicker and it flows less easily through the filter in cold temperatures. Have the transmission serviced. Change all the fluid and the filter. I would not recommend you have the transmission flushed as you more than likely have lots of miles on this vehicle. Flushing the transmission at this juncture may stir up trouble. Just drain and refill.
make sure the fluid is full and the vacuum line is connected to the vacuum modulator on the back of the transmission, also you could install a new vacuum modulator that might cure the problem, have you changed the transmission filter? it could be getting plugged.
Does it stay stuck in first gear? or does it change and when it changes does it seem to wanna slip... if it does shift and it shifts smoothly it might be the kick down lever that's going to the transmission... sometimes they can become rusty making the vehicle shift at much higher RPMs then normal, making you think that its the transmission. If its not that then it might be the bands, or servos... im not a transmission exspert, but I do know somethings about them... Also, it might be the filter... sounds weird, I know, but always check fluid levels and filter as well, a clogged filter or old fluid can make the transmission seem bad, when its actually just the fluid and filter... lots of things to consider... thanks, hope ive helped.
as long as you '''DON'T''' flush it, you should be ok. DO NOT let the shop trick you in to a flush. If the transmission fluid has been low or is very old, the gears inside the transmission are not lubricated as they should be while driving. When the metal gears rub against each other with little or no fluid for lubrication, lots of little metal shavings will be created and end up in the transmission fluid filter. When you get one of those flushes the shops will try to sell you, the transmission fluid is pumped backwards through the transmission filter, then through the gears and then out of the system. This would work fine if your transmission has never been low on transmission fluid or had a clogged transmission filter. But if you have metal shaving in your transmission fluid filter/oil pan. This will be the death of your transmission. Because all the metal shavings are pumped back into the gears, where they will be stuck. Running a transmission with lots of metal shavings inside of it, is not much different from running it with sand in between the gears. So, yeah. Just like the other guy said. If you have an older or abused car, DON't let the shops talk you into getting one of those reverse transmission flushes. This will turn a transmission that's semi-usable into a completely blown transmission I'd say about 25 to 100 miles of driving later down the road.
On a 98 eclipse rs Manual, the filter is located inside the transmission. It is behind the square inspection plate just behind the driver side wheel. It have a few bolts holding it on..and it doesn't have a drain plug..Hope this helps
VW will tell you that the transmission fluid & fuel filter should never be changed. My Service writer @ the dealership says they should bechecked/ changed wth every tuneup. When I took my Beetle to a local garage,the mechanic changed my fuel filter and showed me how it was full of water (my car was running rough). Anyway,call a VW dealership service dept. and ask them to show you how to do this.
There is no external filter on the 2000 tl--its internal to the transmission----you will have to flush the transmission-to clean the filter-or dismantel it. Lot easier to take to a dealership or local garage and have the transmission flushed..
It has a permanent filter that is changed when you have the fluid changed.
My transmission is slipping, I was told the transmission is good but the filter needs to be changed . where is it at and how much is it

I had my fluids changed in my transmission, and they told me the filter was internal....and they did not replace it!
Have transmission fluid and filter changed. Checked Transmission mounts
No, it does not have a filter. My daughter just had her tranny oil drained/changed and was surprised to hear that it does not have a filter. Weird.
Because one quart of transmission fluid isn't enough. Call a Chevy dealership and ask them how much more you need to put in.
Yes, I just had a clogged filter for my 05 corolla changed along with the filter.
I don't believe ther is one on this transmission, just the fluid gets changed. If there is a filter, it would be replaced if transmission is overhauled.
its in side the transmission case , can not be changed without removing the transmission and splitting the case
