In a bit of a deep freeze at the moment (-28C), but I noticed a big change at about -15C and the clutch gets heavy and slow on a cold startup. I don't recall this big of a change in my previous manual vehicles. Might be the fact that I'm in a new vehicle rather than one with lots of mileage.
It will eventually behave normally, but it doesn't warm up as quick as the coolant or engine oil and can feel heavy for quite a while.
Does anyone know of anything I can do to improve the clutch warm up or reduce the viscosity (OEM is DOT3) or something? I don't know if its the fluid or a greased bearing or whatnot that's causing the feel. I'm being very careful to engage it slowly and reducing the number of shifts to give it time, but I can occasionally smell it slipping.
