So check all your fluids, it couldnt hurt.

No, he was talking about when its cold. Like 10 degrees Fahrenheit cold. Not 55 degrees Los Angeles morning cold.
Good idea to check the fluid level for sure... especially since these cars are old, probably leak, and the fluid level may have never been checked before. Most manual transmissions I've ever driven in a variety of cars would be tough shifting into the lower gears until the fluid circulated and got warmed up a bit. I wonder why they want 80w90 gear oil in these transmissions.... I was thinking of trying some lighter 10w 30 or something. Anyone try that? It should help in the cold. Other manual transmissions out there use 10W30 engine oil with no problems. Maybe the friction material on the synchros need it or something?
