Torque converter lockup

So, to be brief about it, my torque converter takes forever to reach lockup in the morning. By lockup, I mean the 5th gear sort of thing where you're already in 4th, but then you feel a slight "shift" and the RPMs drop a little (about 300-500 RPM). Don't know if lockup is the proper term. Anyway, it won't lockup until I've driven about 10 miles in the morning. It just stays in 4th even if it's warm. Any ideas?
