Mine does not even lock up the torque converter when the fluid is below 50F. It is super annoying especially when I don't want to rev the car out when cold. Winter is already bad enough for gas mileage, this makes it even worse. Does anyone elses car do this? I monitor my cvt and engine temps when I drive and right when that cvt hits 50F it locks up. I have had to put my hazards on before and let people pass when there was this steep hill and I just started my car, was only a 40mph road and I am not going to let the engine spin up over 3k rpm to barley go the speed limit when not up to temp. Other then that it feels sluggish when cold, still shifts into second just fine and still functions aight.
