Re: trouble shifting when cold
Just a guess here, but it sounds to me like they used the wrong oil in the
trans. You didn't say, but I assume you have a 5-spd. If the oil is too
heavy, then it will shift poorly while cold.

Re: trouble shifting when cold
The OP mentioned "trouble shifting gears" and "changing without a clutch".
With those comments and the vehicle being a 2000 Sport.... no assumption
required.
