it has not been too good with the tiburon, after getting the parts to fix the tree damage i'm pretty sure the trans is going out and if this is true i'm going to get rid of it. i love this car but it's just way too hard to get parts for it or find a mechanic that has the know how to work on that damn car. i'v even tried to find a newer one on autotrader but the 10 they have are auto or have really high miles. for $2000 ( trans at hyundai dealership) i really don't know if it's worth it

Reset your ECU and drive it hard for about an hour.
Im trying that in the morning.
Also, I have noticed that Tiburon auto trans are VERY fussy about how much fluid they have in them.
I went to get my oil changed a while back and they topped it up.. and I think they overfilled it because it shifted like a pile of cack afterwards for a few days.

As crappy as everyone says our auto trannies are, even when mine was in need of replacement, it is still running fine 5 months later, and I'm not even the owner!!

3200rpm isn't that high. It may tend to hold the gears longer since the car is colder so it wants to warm up. Cold temperatures effect all transmissions, new and used.
I doubt there is anything wrong with it.

no worries man.. seriously.. when it gets cold auto transmission HATE it. i had an auto TSi once, and in the cold it idled high, and SUCKED for shifting until it warmed up.. before you drive, let your car idle for like 10 min til it hits normal opperating temp.. then drive it.. i almost guarentee it wont happen.. also, you misewell change the transmission oil, and the filter, always helps..
