ok ive got some weird problems.....

[superdave104]

first off, my lifters are getting REALLY crappy. i tried the seafoam then royal purple oil change trick but it did nothing. my lifters have now gotten to the point where on first startup in the morning you can hear a slight miss. basically, for every tick you hear, you get a miss. but only until it warms up.

second, when cold, my car doesnt like to shift well. it will shift but its not smooth at all. once the car warms up a bit it goes back to normal and shifts great.

lastly, on cold start up yet again... i have a terrible hesitation. i think it may be my mass air flow going bad. anyone ever had a similar issue?

ive come to the conclusion that my car hates cold temps. once it gets cold nothing wants to work right. once it warms up, everything works perfectly. i dont get it...

You might want to clean out your lash adjusters to see if that is your problem.
A little more shifting effort is nessisary in cold weather and is completely normal.
Are you letting your car fully warm up before driving it as you would normally?
