I'm from Ontario Canada and before I put my Z into storage this winter I drove it into work one morning at -8 degree Celsius. It was the biggest pain to try and shift, however it only lasted about 5 minutes down the road. After that she shifted perfectly as always!

IMO from my own experience, this is not a car to be driven in sub zero temps, mind you all trannys have a tough time in the negative temps

True. One of the reasons I sold my RSX (besides moving up to something with really nice styling) was because it was sluggish for 10-12 minutes on a cold morning. And at least the first 5 minutes during the rest of the year. And 2nd, till warmed up, seemed to notch or grab going in as if the syncros weren't quite warmed up enough to do their job yet.

So, call me gun-shy on the Z and worrying about it. I'm still in break-in period but when I can let it go, I want to be able to speed shift it and not have it balk/hesitate/stop in front of 2nd gear...
