When an engine is cold, the Transmission Fluid is also cold and thicker, which can result in firmer engagement of the gears. In first gear, this can prevent slipping, making it feel more normal as the engine and transmission components have not yet reached optimal operating temperatures. As the engine warms up, the fluid becomes less viscous, which may lead to smoother shifting and potential slipping if there are underlying issues. Therefore, a lack of slipping in first gear when cold is generally considered normal behavior.

Why is there a loud squealing noise from the engine during cold starts as well as accelerating on a 1995 Mazda MPV?

It's probably the belt slipping. Check for belt tension. When an engine first starts the alternator works harder to recharge the battery. During that time, the alternator is harder to turn and if the belt isn't tight enough there can be some slipping between the belt and the pulley.

What is cold idle rpm for 2008 Nissan 350Z?

The cold idle RPM for a 2008 Nissan 350Z typically ranges between 1,200 to 1,500 RPM when the engine is first started and still cold. As the engine warms up, the RPM gradually decreases to the normal idle range of around 600 to 800 RPM. This higher cold idle helps ensure proper engine performance and emissions control until the engine reaches its optimal operating temperature.
