Cold starts ---trans hesitates, slips, etc

Hi guys,

Live in Ny. First winter with the car. Many time when the temps are low (0-32) degrees when i first take off in my car until it gets warmed up my transmission slips / hesitates when shifting gears. I mean like really bad to the point where i think im gonna break my car. I am driving slowly as i should when the car is still warming up but i will shift and hit the gas slowly after the shift and the car jumps. Anyone have this similiar problem? do all wrx's do this? or is it something wrong with the car?

Thanks for your help guys

I have a 2.5 TS in Rockland county and i have the same thing. I think its normal and its just because everything is so damn cold. Once it warms up its fine so my suggestion is just get a remote starter
