I've had a 1990 Nissan Stanza and a 1996 Eagle Talon have the exact same thing happen.
The Stanza's transmission woudn't shift during a cold start ... it would even buck back and forth. Solution? A new transmission.
The Talon's transmission wouldn't shift during a cold start. No bucking, but it had long shift periods and would slip out of gear randomly. Solution? Something to do with the "waste gate".
Either way, a temprature sensitive transmission isn't normal. I understand about a cold start and go ... but what you're describing isn't right.
On the coldest starts, my transmission shifts at 35mph at over 3,000 rpms ... I'm not sure if that's normal, but it's something to gauge your issues off of. :hs:
