Both my '03 Baja and my "08 Fozzy(both MTs) get stiff to shift into 1st, 2nd when the temps get to around 30 degrees and below. Once it is warmed up it returns to normal.

Is yours auto or manual?

It could be a sign of the wrong (or perhaps simply inappropriate) transmission fluid.

Did you ever figure it out?

I just put in a used transmission and it has EXACTLY the problem you described.

Double clutch on the 1 to 2 shift when the tranny is cold.
