When the fluid is cold the input shaft will stop spinning very quickly due to the highly viscous fluid quickly robbing the input shaft of its momentum. When the shaft is not spinning it is a crapshoot as to whether or not it will actually engage a gear.

Did some double-pumping this morning and it made 1st a breeze. Guess I'll have to make that a habit when I first start her on a cold morning.

Yeah, I usually have to double clutch 1st and 2nd for the first mile or 2 until things start to warm up. Need an electric blanket for my transmission

Placed my spring order with redline today so in 3 months i'll be able to tell you how it goes. Picked up some 0w-30, Mt-90, redline powersteering fluid, and water wetter for my 80-20 propylene glycol switch.
