As I understand it if the trans sensors are out of range then it will not allow manual shifting and adopts different shifting sequences too. Not sure is the trans temp sensor can cause this or if it is just related to line pressure (which won't be ideal until the trans its hot). Usually these things get worse the older the trans is.
