First gear issues please help

I have a 91 acura legend and my car just started acting crazy. When I crank the car and put it in D4 it seems like its stuck in neutral no matter how hard you push the gas then after a couple seconds it goes in drive. The car only does it after you cut it off. If you stop at a light it shifts fine. I have no D4 light blinking or anything.I changed my transmission fluid and differential fluid within the past month. The transmission was recondition about 90k ago. I don't drive the car hard it my daily driver to work. Any suggestion what this might be hope the tranny is going out

Did you check/replace the tranny screen (filter)?

No I didn't replace it or check it. Can this cause it?

How hard is it to access? It just makes no since if first gear was going out it would do it all the time I would think not just upon start up

It's easy to access when you drop the pan. Check the FSM for details. It does it upon start-up because the fluid is cold and thick and will not go through the screen/filter.
