Why high rpm when changing gears in an automatic when engine is cold?

There are several possible causes. A few:
- The engine is cold and making less power so you are pushing the gas peddle further causing the transmission to hold the gear longer
- The computer is programed to do this ( but I have no idea why it would be)
- The transmission has a sticky or stuck valve that requires the higher speed to move.
- It is really really cold and the oil in the transmission just needs time to loosen up.

the oil heats up in the transmission and the gears slide easier check the transmission oil and think of a possible change of oil
Why will your Nissan Maxima not run cold after changing the battery?
No, changing the battery has no effect on how hot or cold the engine runs. The battery has one purpose and that is to store electricity that is used to start the engine and run the electronics on the vehicle. The alternator keeps the battery fully charged.
What makes a 2001 Sportage with automatic transmission take forever to shift gears in cold weather?
I have no idea but mine does the same thing. Shifting into 3rd gear I guess 80 -100km/h in cold weather only. As soon as it heats up it shifts fine. The sportage is programmed not to shift to 3rd until the engine is at least 155 degrees
How much tansmisson fluid do i add to a 1987 Toyota automatic tranny when running.?
On the dipstick it will say cold and hot. Fill the trans fluid until the level reads hot, shifts the gears from park all the way down to low gears a few times recheck the level fill as needed.

to my knowledge the 206's are all fuel injected, so the cold start is controlled by the engine ECU.
When do you check your engine oil when iits hot or cold?
Check engine oil when you have just finished driving. Check Transmission fluid when the car is running and the transmission in in N (manual) or P (automatic).
1991 Mitsubishi eclipse 2.0 automatic transmission dohc when cold it shifts hard into gears and the overdrive does not work do you think it could be something other than the transmission?
nope...think about replacing the tranny. Check salvage yards.
Why will my Van not run without foot on accelerator with engine cold but once it warms up it runs fine but only when the temp outside is really cold 25 or below?
your automatic choke is fouled up or misadjusted for your temperature zone.
Why is your 1993 Pontiac Trans Am taking to long to change gears?
Transmission fluid is low. Check the level of this fluid ONLY with the engine running and at normal operating temperature. To check it otherwise WILL give a false reading. You cannot check the transmission fluid level on a cold and idle engine.
