New to Auto Tranny Talon

[bcrosby]

Just got a 92 AWD Talon A/T. When I go to put it in reverse when the car is cold I can feel the tranny shift but i have to give it more gas that usuall to get it to move. After it moves alittle it works fine. Its like it has to build up fluid in the torque convertor or something, is this normal. Also, if i'm going backwords and put it in drive without coming to a complete stop the tranny just goes right into drive and the car jolts and its not smooth like most a/t's. Any input would be helpful.
thanks

if it is whining then you know that it is low on fluid.
