Might be a slightly different symptom
but when you get slippage in the morning the tranny guys call it 'morning
sickness,' I believe it is partly caused by the old seals in the clutch pack
servos etc getting hard and stiff from heat & age . . .

Ed,
I had that exact same problem once in my 64 Dodge driver years ago. The
colder it got the longer it stayed stuck in first. Once it shifted, it
was fine afterwards until it cooled off again. I assumed it was caused
by varnish in the valve body sticking a check ball.
It went away forever immediately with a fliud change.
