Anyone else find their gearbox to be real stiff when cold?
I have an 03 P5 and the last couple weeks we've had a bunch of really cold days. On these days I find it quite hard to go from first to second and to downshift. Even at a stop its sometimes hard to get it into first gear. Once everything gets warm its ok but I was wondering if this was normal. Any ideas???

i just noticed the same problem on my 03 pro5. it just happened..for the 1st time.
it's difficult downshifting to first at a stop sign...as though there's some heavy resistance and i have to force it.
i only have 2000km on mine.
it cant be worn out clutch.
