Ramon-
Those are symptoms of low fluid level, which is especially noticeable when the weather is cool, and the fluid itself contracts. See my post to Tim S. If it were me I'd do a service with a Filtran OEM filter, and replace with either Esso or Shell as indicated. I'd do the shifter seals at the same time. I know the fluid is expensive, but after alot of research I have to say that these fluids really are unique, and nothing else can safely be used.
