Hey chasmataz,
Can you describe in more detail what you mean by "the tranny just spins"?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Cold should not affect the clutch fluid.

I've noticed on my 145 lately that it is a little more stubborn going into first on cold mornings when the choke is out (1500 rpm or so.)
Strange, it didn't used to do that with the D-type w/ 30W in my 144.
I've been blaming my problem on the use of RedLine MTL which I've only started using in a J-type. I figure since it's synthetic, everything is spinning easier. I kind of doubt that is the reason though. I suspect the clutch.

I may switch back to 30W as an experiment. Generally I prefer the synthetics though.
