I bought my new(former ford exec demo car, 6,500 miles and got a hell of a deal on it) Friday and I've been absolutely loving it. I've missed driving a fun manual around. (I drove a 07 VW GLI for 4-5 years)
We had extremely low temps last night, but I've never experienced this before. This morning when I went to leave for work I started the car and I could not move my shifter really at all. I let it sit for a few min but had to move it around quite a bit to thaw it out I guess, after I got it into gear I was driving fine and I kept trying to get it into reverse while I was at a stoplight and it was difficult. After my 15 min drive to work everything is fine now but is this due to cold weather or is there something wrong? Like I said I drove a manual for years and never had this issue before.
