Currently when car warms up during idling what is your rpm value. Could you emphasize further on how battery removal was done that was used to start another car

car starts off at above 2k RPM and when it warms it's btwn 600-800rpm nd shift is smooth.
battery change was done by removing terminals (cnt remember which was removed first)

hello car gurus I need your expert opinion about my vehicle. I noticed on cold start(in the morning or after bn parked for about 8hrs),the vehicle transmission does nt enter drive(it enters reverse gear easily).it gives a sound similar to bn in neutral gear(possibly it slips to N).
I am able to overcome the slip by raising RPM to about 3+ and it then enters drive with a loud thump.afterwhich the car drives normal throughout the day , selecting all gears smoothly and as appropriate(ofcourse until it's parked for another 8hrs plus nd I av to force it into drive gear again)
I also noticed that when I move to drive gear in the morning and I depress the brakes for about 7-9seconds ,d car shifts into gear with a mild thump nd am good for the day.
I also have bn able to overcome the early morning problem by allowing the vehicle to warm in the morning for about 10minutes(when I do that car shifts smoothly from start)
I have changed my transmission oil(T4) and av even cleaned d gear filter with no difference.am yet to scan d transmission but I will appreciate suggestions from experts in the house.
my mechanic here says it's valve body.another one said I shld change d gear while fingers av also bn pointed at gear selector and sensors.
vehicle is Toyota Camry 2003 V6.
I just remembered problem started after I used my battery to start someone's car nd my RPM became low so I had d Mech increase it temporarily till it normalise which happened nd gave me high rpm... though I tried reducing it bt it's still higher than normal(could dt be related to d gear issue I started experiencing afterwards?)
