transmission won't shift
how come my transmission won't shift after being park overnight? then shifts well after a few minutes of being on drive or reverse

Well im not sure but you have that ES with like 20,000 miles on it right? Check the tranny fluid level. The pan gasket might be leaking especially if it sat with all the fluid at the bottom of the tranny for the last decade.

it has been like that since I got the car. just forgot mentioning about it. mechanic tried to adjust a cable, then shifting became jerky, but it solved it's "overnight parking sickness" so I told him to adjust it again to give me smoother shifting but it just brought back the old problem. there seem to be no fine adjustment to the tranny.

yeah, it shifts well when the car gets warmed up. but is that normal? how about the atf pump? though I have another tranny standing by

arnelli, do you mean that the car will not shift period as in no gear changes & you can't go anywhere (reverse or drive) until you let the vehicle idle for 10 - 15 minutes & then it will engage? Or the shifts when cold are extremely harsh right after a cold start, but things settle when it's warmed up?

It's A: the car will not shift period as in no gear changes & you can't go anywhere (reverse or drive) until you let the vehicle idle for 10 - 15 minutes & then it will engage.
But I tried shifting without releasing the handbrakes and suddenly it shifted well even after an overnight parking. strange
