Automatic transmission won't engage for 3 mins

Hi all,
I bought a 1993 Saab 900S just a week ago, and I love it.
Everything seems to be ok with it, except on cold days in the first 3 minutes the automatic transmission doesn't seem to engage the 1st gear completely. I press on the gas pedal, the engine revs, as high as 3000rpm, but the car moves really slowly. No power is transferred to the wheels.
But after a couple minutes it starts shifting, and runs perfect from there on.
What could it be? Should I just try to flush the transmission and put in new fluid, or it's something more serious?
Thanks,
-- Art
