If the trans fluid temp is too cold, it will also cause major problems with the transmission as the fluid becomes more of a sludge than a fluid at such low temps, same thing with engine oil if the temperature is low enough. Also the transmission fluid temp needs to be above 150 degrees F in order to function properly, otherwise it will never lock the torque converter in order to raise the temp to proper operating temperature.
