Micky,
This is a great puzzle! When you let off the gas, it coasts easily. Therefore your tranny is slipping until the fluid gets warm. I suggest you drain atf from the drain plug, about 5 quarts, and add fresh dextron IIe, just in case there is some contaminent. Try to do it when the tranny is cold and have some coffee to keep warm. Check the atf level before and after the partial flush.
It could be one of the internal pumps is no longer strong enough to work when the tranny fluid is to cold and thick? Let it warm up 2-3 minutes before trying to drive when it gets cold again, turn on the butt warmer to get the seat warm while you are waiting.
