    Does anyone have any issues with their clutch in extreme cold? Today it was 10 degrees F and it felt like my clutch was just stuck....any advice?

    change the fluid....mine gets "sluggish" also in cold. I have read on here to change the fluid out to a reputable synthetic and it does wonders...I will be doing mine sometime soon also. I see alot about redline fluid but I may do Super Tech....any ones used supertech?

    Pretty sure OP was talking about the clutch pedal not the tranny.

    I got no problems in the cold. Before the ADM was fine as well.

    All brake fluid is synthetic. It's just on the bottle to make it sound better.

    I'm not sure changing brands of fluid will help. I haven't seen any real solutions aside from letting the truck warm up.
    I'll usually pump the clutch many times while I let the truck warm up. Helps a little bit.

    I was just joking with someone the other day about wrapping and electric blanket around the clutch cylinder to keep it warm. :D
