Some newbie ISF transmission questions.....

WTF? There's no transmission temperature gauge on the F. The oil temp guage is for ENGINE oil. And at 20 degrees F, the engine won't get fully warm even after 45 minutes of operation - I know this because I saw it last weekend when it was in the 20's in Atlanta. A 45 minute drive and I still only saw two bars on the engine oil temp gauge. Normal is three bars.
The transmission takes EVEN LONGER to warm up. You guys thinking the engine warms up in 10 - 15 minutes are smoking crack. The COOLANT warms up that fast, but the OIL will still be colder than it should be, and the oil getting to the parts needing it is the most important function an engine's lubrication system performs. The gearbox has its own radiator, and it will NEVER get warm if the OAT is below freezing.
Sorry, but your problem is based on two things - low temperature and (possibly) low fluid level. There are few other issues which might cause the problem you're experiencing.

From what you've posted so far, it seems your transmission is fine. As for the times when it shifted slow you simply didn't meet the criteria (load/rpm/tp) for the pcm to perform the task. Enjoy your F !

I attempted to launch in M + Sport mode, VSC disabled recently.
Weirdest thing happened:
- Full throttle from a standstill, rear tires slipped a little
- Kept on 100% throttle, but either I missed the shift beep or it didn't go off, but either way, bounced off the rev limiter for probably 1-2 seconds before shifting to 2nd.
- Upon shifting into 2nd, the transmission had a huge 2-3 second delay before engaging to 2nd. I noticed this because I had time to look down at the cluster to see "2" only to have the transmission slam into 2nd gear after the delay.
- Full throttle shifting from 2-3 and 3-4 were normal "M" mode shifts.
Anyone else have had this issue before?

I didn't know after a certain amount of time you couldn't respond to a thread. And I used the "search" feature to find it which you are supposed to do. Any other smart comments you'd like to make?
