Frozen clutch pedal?

Frozen clutch pedal?
Hey, guys, basically every time its below 32 degrees outside and the car seats overnight when I first start the car the clutch pedal feels like the fluid is frozen for the first few minutes. It(pedal) just moves veeeery slowly until the car warms up. After that its perfectly fine, all the shifts are good and all. Is it normal? My 98 maxima was seating in temperatures far below that and never noticed anything like that... Thank you!

Not sure how many performance vehicles you've driven, but the "heavy" feel is pretty common, especially in extreme temperatures. The car is fine just don't beat on it until you're sure its warm. I usually start my car 15 minutes before driving it in anything below 30. It still takes a minute to warm up the trans but not nearly as long as if you just started it and drove off.

I'm having a different cold weather problem.. It seems that when I roll (very slowly) when I just turn on the car, any attempt to put it in 1st gear results in grinding. I never had this problem when it was warm outside, and it seems that once the car warms up it doesnt do it anymore.. (it still locks out 1st when rolling too fast tho)
Any ideas?
