Misfires (or what the PCM interprets as misfires) will
make the TCC unlock. Misfires can be pulled up with a
logger EFILive or ATAP), you might check this out before
getting into the hardware too deep. Something as simple
as a fouled spark plug or bad plug wire could be doing it
to you.

Also your car has to reach a certain temp before it will lock up. So if its real cold like it is here it might take you a while to get up to temp. Ofcourse if you have a cam it might be misfire codes
