I am poised to pull the non-leaking pan on my transmission, but I could very easily be talked out of it. I have mentioned before that on cold starts or after sitting for any extended period of time, the transmission will choose not to go into drive. Generally it will immediately go into any gear initially, but after the first shift ( say out of gear when stopped while in drive or reverse) it balks at going back into a selected gear.

I am guessing that perhaps the filter has come disconnected. When I add a little fluid, this seems to "cure" it which makes me think that the filer is not picking up fluid and the initial engagement is from fluid already in the transmission body. I am thinking that there is fluid that comes out of the transmission back to the pan that raises the average fluid level just enough to get picked up and on I go with no further problems.

So before I pull off my non-leaking pan, does anyone want to convince me my theory is bunk and I need to look elsewhere? Cause I'd rather not end up sealing and resealing a pan if I don't have to.
