99 Honda Accord transmission slow shifting

What is your question?

My 99 Accord V6 (72000 miles) shifts slowly when cold. 1st to 2nd can take about 10 seconds and 2nd to 3rd is a little faster. 3rd to 4th seems fine. Once it warms up it shifts just fine, fast shifts, does not shift hard and works great. Down shifting when cold is also slow. No codes, no flashing D, no check engine light. Is this a faulty solenoid? If so which solenoid?

It sounds like blocked screen filter ,when cold the fluid is thicker when its up to temp its thinner these trans are sealed for life you cant do anything with them unless you take the unit out and take it apart !

The transmission is low mileage for failure but I have seen them fail. Maybe just have the transmission serviced make sure Honda ATF ZR1 oil is used and try an additive called Lubegaurd very good product.
