Transmission problem
1999 Buick Century 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 99 century custom. During the winter everytime it was below 30 degrees, the transmision didn't want to go into gear until a few minutes had past. It was hesitating like it wanted to go into gear, but didn't. The car acts like it wants to go but doesn't. When warm, the trans works completly fine going through all the gears perfectly. After the engine cooled down the next morning it had happened again. This only happens when it gets below 30 or so. I have had the trans rebuilt and it worked fine for a month and then started with the hesitation again. Also have changed the temp sensor in the transmition with no effect. My mechanics have no idea what to do and have asked other mechanics and have no idea either.

there is obviously fluid bleed down and must be caused by a faulty seal inside transmission. there is no other explaination besides faulty transmission rebuild
