manual trans should be ok cant see it causing any problems. I used to delay shifting mine just to help everything get a little warmer

Manual Trans rely on gear meshing not fluid pressures and such. Only problem i could see in cold weather is the synchros being slower than normal. Just take your time at first

Sorry if I came off mean, just when I see info out there that isnt right I feel compelled to make sure that the person knows the truth, ya the new stuff is alot different, AFT 3-4 transmission fluid is weird in how it behaves. At cold temps, the pressures are way up, but the flow is down. Its kinda like cold engine oil. Also since overdrive is a reversed direction gear I believe, it takes twice as much fluid to keep it lubed up. And not to mention, friction packs and steels are always the weakest in overdrive for some reason. (you think they would learn, and make a trans that can take full power in OD)
