automatic trans questions
my celica is the first auto i have owned so i have little exp with them, and im having a few issues with it, thought maybe some people on here may be able to help.
problem 1: sometimes when its cold after coming to a complete stop and then trying to start again, it just doesnt go... i can floor the gas and literally nothing happens, the engine doesnt rev up and it actually accelerates slower than if i just idle accelerate. to me is kind of feels like when you try and start 3rd. once it gets above 10-15mph it drives normal and once it warms up its fine.
problem 2: it shifts hard
hoping this is a 'change the trans fluid' problems, how hard is that on a auto, did it on my old truck and on the 8, but they are both MT.
thanks for any help!

yeah already a member on there helped with a variable valve timing issue i had last year. but it is not as active a membership as here and being a trans issue (i assume, and thus general automotive) i thought i would get a quicker response here.

lots of google-ing it seems both problems can be solved(potentially) by changing the trans fluid as i suspected. also youtubing AT fluid changes it seems actually easier to change the AT fluid than than a MT so i'll see if i can get this done this weekend.
