yeah i find that its a little bit stiffer from 1st - 2nd when it cold, but thats completely normal. The oil temp & pressure should heat up.

what i find is that on a cold start, shifting down to first when you're about to stop is much harder at 5 - 10mph, than when the car is warmed. Is that normal?

I get that too, in the morning she just doesn't go into any gear (Audi Coupe). I find 1st gear is almost always notchy, unless I put it into gear just before stopping. Very strange!

Pete.
