Delayed shifting into 4th when cold

I have noticed that occasionally I have a problem that the transmission does not shift from 3rd into 4th (drive) when it is cold out (around 20 degrees Fahrenheit or below); it stays in 3rd with rpm about 3,000 rpm at 55-60 miles per hour. Letting of the gas does not cause it to shift either like in normally does. It just stays in 3rd and eventually shifts after a mile or so of being in third.
This happens in the first mile or two only. Once it shifts for the first time into 4th then it does not have a problem again when starting out thereafter.

Is this normal or does it signal an impending tranny problem?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Ken

The 4EAT trans that our SVX comes with is not supposed to shift into fourth gear untill the trans oil reached 50°f.

And it is not supposed to lock up the torque converter untill the trans oil reaches 150°f.

So not a problen is being shown. So far!

Ken, this is Subaru's way of telling you that you should stay home when its that freeking cold!
