Re: Does X-TREEEMME Cold affect clutch operation?
Brake fluid (used in the clutch's hydraulic system) is not supposed to
freeze, but given enough cold, everything will eventually freeze. Frozen
clutch fluid would most certainly contribute to a stiff pedal.

Not a critical problem in with a transmission, like molasses in
January, it just costs horse power pull the gears through it. They're
not going to run dry like an engine when the thicker oil won't fit in
bearing clearances.

Re: Does X-TREEEMME Cold affect clutch operation?
Definitely ..... Clutch surfaces as well a brakes work by the
dissipation of heat (friction) .... the colder it is the better for
heat transferred and you get chatter and slip all at the same time (or
the 'ability' of heat to be transferred drastically changes). The
viscosity of lubrication thickens, tolerances of metal components close
down .
...... and at the very coldest, essentially all molecular motion comes
to a stop.
