When driving to work, I noticed again (this happens every time my '96
camry is cold) that the engine runs at 2500 rpm when I'm coasting at 45
miles per hour. The tranny finally shifts after a few seconds (when
it's warm?).

This only happens when the car is cold. Is this normal, or is this a
problem?

The overdrive wont engage till apx 110f. Running 2500 on a cold motor is
very bad as thick oil can make the filter bypass. Let ther car warm up
or you risk a short life.
