Yes. Thats because in your tranny (only manuals) they use a 75-90 gear oil which is pretty thick to begin with. Add cold temps to the mix and it gets even thicker... Usually only lasts until the car warms up.

sam check out if your car can take redline mt-90 tranny fluid. That stuff is amazing and I ran it in my car before and it helps out so much.

I have an automatic but when i drive it first thing in the morning the car doesn't want to shift into 4th. Usually after i get to the first stop sign and it will go through the gears fine. I get ____ed and usually try to force it into 4th by speeding up on the road but I haven't been doing it, just figured its cold.

Fair warning with circuit city is that if something goes wrong then your stuck with it.

I say try Amazon or get a refurbished one from apple
