Default transmision shift

I have a 4 speed automatic that won't shift out of 3rd gear when it's cold. It seems ok when it's warm. I changed the trans oil but that did not fix the problem, any sugestions?

This is fairly normal for the first mile or so if it is extremely cold. How long til it warms up and the condition stops?

Sometimes it won't go into 4th for 20 miles or so

Yeah... Not normal. I was talking about a mile or so. What type of fluid did you use?
