...is it possible that there might be some moisture in your system? If so, these low temps could be your answer to why....???....

there could be condensation in the gearbox itself. you might want to get some cheap gear oil and flush it throughly before you refill it next time.

hrmm. Well i am changing it soon. Maybe that is all it needs. It only happens when it is below freezing. But then again it feels like it is more the clutch then the tranny because the clutch catch point pretty much moves really low.

dumb question, but did you check your clutch fluid resevoir? maybe it needs to be flushed. maybe next time you do your brakes, it would be worthwhile.

The clutch shares the brake reservoir and it was perfect. I checked it like two weeks ago when this happened before. When it is warm the car is perfectly fine. No issues at all and the catch point is a lot higher. But like i said, it could be these shoes.

my clutch was VERY stiff for the first 10 minutes and my engine didnt not like being cranked when i started her, but i didn't have any real issues actually getting into gear. i did dave's double clutch manuever a few times and that made it easier to slide into gear.

have you checked your battery voltage to see if it's getting tired? the one in my subaru needed to be replaced in less than a year, but then again, they are notariously crappy. not sure about the evo batteries, though.

I am pretty sure the evo and subys use the same panasonic battery.
