Last winter after my Subaru's tranny was rebuilt it would still shift very sluggishly in the cold temps. I would typically do a lap around my apartment complex before hitting the roads.
I have replaced the regular dino ATF the rebuilder used with semi-synth ATF from http://www.specialtyformulations.com (Autoglide, Dexron III). While we haven't had any really cold mornings (what's with this weird warm weather here in MA?) the tranny is definitely shifting better all around and especially when it's cold. I suspect it will do fine once the single digits hit.
Synthetic ATF is ~$8 a quart, the Autoglide stuff came to $5/qt with shipping. I've even used it in my 2001 9-5 auto tranny.
