There's a very simple solution to this problem. Once
the car is started, immediately shift it into neutral.
This will refill the torque converter in just a few
moments.
Allan, following this procedure will also help the
"lurch" you are experiencing when shifting into gear.
Let the fast idle run for a minute or two, and then
tap the accelerator to step down to a lower idle. By
this time, the torque converter will be "primed," and
your idle will be low enough for a smooth shift.
Happy Motoring!
