It does this first thing in the morning, every morning on the way to school, when its like 0-5 degrees celcius outside. If Im sitting at a stop sign, or slow down to a point where its pretty much idling, it will drop into neutral, untill I rev it and it will grab drive again at about 2 grand. It does leak fluid from there the trans bolts up to the t case, but not much at all and it doesnt seem to care how much fluid it has in it to do this. Again it only happens in the cold mornings and only untill it gets up to operating temp. Im thinking maybe a sticky shift servo, but I dont know enough about auto trans to be sure. Any ideas?

Its nothing with your shift soleniod. What it is, is your transmission is low on fluid. Transmission fluid expands and when its cold in the morning there isnt enough fluid in your transmision to operate correctly. So what you need to do is add about half a quart then drive it around till its up to tempature. then add till its up to the scketched area. Or pull the pan and replace the filter and pan gasket it fix your leak. and refill it. FYI when you do the pan it only will let out about 3 quarts of fluid. It wont drain the whole thing.
Good luck man!!
