A10 cold shift

[DetroitMustang]

I was wondering if this normal as the dealership said.

My problem (worry) is that every morning my car won't shift past 5th or sometimes 6th when its cold.
I drive on a road that's 30mph , but usually go 35 or so.
.
When the car is hot it goes into 8th gear on the same stretch , but cold usually not past 5th.
I can make it go to 8th with the paddles. Also I noticed on the dash that the oil PSI goes to 100% when trying to shift cold,
The engine revs high and if I let off the gas it feels like the car bucks a little.
Yes it does shift once I get on the main road that's 50 MPH, but the oil psi hits 100% until it finally gets to 10th gear.

When hot it may go to 75 but never 100%..and it seems to shift smoothly like it should.
Dealer service manager says he talked to his trans guy and it's normal.

Sorry, I should have posted in the trans forum.

Nope. It is just the trans protecting itself until the oil temps get up to operating range. These a10’s take forever (30-40 minutes) to reach that range cold. Not a great car for short daily commutes imo.

OK thanks for your reply.
Like I said, after it's hot it seems good, so I'll quit worrying about it.
