Does X-TREEEMME Cold affect clutch operation?
 

Hey guys,

HAd some wicked cold weather here yesterday. It was something like -29degC
THEN include the wind chill.
Anyhow, on the drive to work doing about 120km/h I noticed that the clutch
pedal got really stiff.
It definately eased up after I had stopped at a store (had a chance to warm
up?)....

Was wondering what the temp rating is on the transmission juice?!

Yup -31 degC here yesterday
I just go easy on the Jeep
Push the clutch pedal slowly
accelerate slowly .....etc.
Can't drive to fast...black ice everywhere.

The wind chill factor does not apply to vehicles. If it's 0 degrees outside
with or without wind, the vehicle also is at 0 degrees.

If it's windy, a warm vehicle when parked outside will cool off faster than
with no wind, but it will only cool off to 0 degrees, not lower.

Ya, I'm actually surprised they don't make a special winter xmission oil
like they do for engines for us cold-climate folk. It was -28C here
yesterday and my Corolla's clutch pedal was really stiff for the first 5
minutes or so. Just go easy on it. Also, windchill factor does not effect
the vehicle.
