Does the CX-5's transmission refuse to lock the tq converter until it reaches temp? It was acting almost like a CVT out in the sub-freezing weather until right about the time the blue coolant light went off, and the tq converter began locking. it simply had elasticity within gear, so to speak, and if you let off the throttle, it immediately dropped to 750rpm even doing 50mph. If you again applied throttle, it would bounce back up, no jerk, and you'd accelerate, and as you did so, rpms would drop a few hundred as the tq converter hydraulically locked due to speed/load differentials and how they work with fluid filled tq converters.
So...does it fail to lock? If it were a problem, a non-locking tq converter would have thrown a TON of SES lights at me, I believe.
