When we back out of the garage then go to take off forward the car acts like it does not want to move. After moving forward about 50 feet then the car will start to move like normal. I took it to a tranny shop and they said that they see what it is doing but that it doesnt do it long enough to find the problem. They put the engine and tranny on the computer but said that there were no codes showing. After it gets going in the morning we have no problems after that until the next day.

Have not heard of a similar case, sounds like it may not be starting in first gear. Is the engine revving like a slip, or is it bogging down.

Do you normally set the parking brake, and if so, what is your weather like, freezing temps?

No I never set the parking brake, and the weather dont seem to make a differance. It is cold now in Ohio but it was doing it even when it was warm, maybe not quit as bad but pretty close, I dont think temp is a issue
