142 automatic trans cold shift problems[ALL/1998] posted by Bill on

My '74 142 doesn't shift out right until the fluid warms up. It is a later shift to second then it seems to slip on the shift to third and then tries to go back into second and back and forth. Shifting manually works fine until you get to 'D' and then it tries to shift back as it did before. After it warms up it shifts perfectly and doesn't slip. The fluid smells and looks OK. I have added a bottle of seal conditioner to no avail. Any ideas?
