Charade cold start problem

Forum: 

I have an M reg 1.3 GTi automatic Charade which runs fine when it's been running for a while but is very slow to pull away when cold - engine starts and revs fine but there's no drive. It also clunked horribly into reverse a couple of times last week - again, no problems at all when it's been running for a while.
Any clues? In a manual, I'd suspect the clutch - is it likely to be a similar problem on the auto?
