Not shifting when its cold

[Whiskey_Runner]

So every morning or before I drive I let my 4runner run and warm up . Well yesterday I was sorta in a hurry, and it didn't wanna shift out of first . Fluid is fine . I did check that . Is that normal?

yes it will hold shifts till a much higher than normal RPM, its the transmissions way of warming it self up

The coolant temp must hit 130 before it shifts from 2nd to 3rd or reach 2600+ rpms.

no it doesnt, it will shift from 1st to 2nd at any temp even 40*... it will just shift hard. once the trans tem gets above about 120-130 it will shift smoothly like it normally does.

I remember it was either coolant temp at 130 then normal shift or 2500RPM, which ever comes first both will let the truck shift from 2nd to 3rd. Of course on cold starts.
