Cadillac Catera

I have a 2000 catera and all of a sudden there is an issue with the shifter and or the transmission.  It seems to happen more when it is cold.  All the lights stay on at once on the shifter and also flash on an off and when you start to drive it takes a long time to shift.  I just took out out now and kind of playe d with the shifter and then just the drive light came on and it shifted fine.  Is this a elctrical issue or something more serious?

Thanks,
Brian in MI

Thanks for the reply!  I have a good repair shop that I have used for all my vehicles in the past and they have done a good job.  This sounds like something they can handle as well.
