2023 manual transmission in cold

I dont remember my clutch in my 1991 toyota pickup affected by the cold like my 2023 is. It's slow to react and gummy feeling below 32 degrees. Normal?

 

Yup, you really gotta plan out the shifts until it warms up.

What region are you in?

 

maybe the transmission is still breaking in.

 

Old cable clutch, no it doesn't care about the cold.
Hydraulic clutch, yes, the fluid will get thicker when it's cold. Pump the clutch few times to warm it up.

Gear oil works the same way.

 

YES. It gets super sticky in the morning and I’m not even in cold temp (low to mid 30s)

 

All fluids are react differently at 32*f vs 70*f.

 

This…

 

Yessir. Mine gets better after a few clutch applications.

 

Completely normal. I always pump it a few times to warm up things... as mentioned above.

 

I'm just guessing at another possible solution: Have any of the people who had done the Clutch Delete something or rather have the same problem?

 

This is my first hydraulically actuated clutch that's behaved this way in the cold. I've just accepted it as another quirk.

 

In my old Tacoma's where the clutch shared the brake master cylinder reservoir it was much less noticeable, now having the small separate reservoir out on the side makes it a little more susceptible to the cold.

 

Pretty sure that has never happened.

 

What do you mean, they are shared on certain models?

To be fair you said old Tacoma’s so I went 1st gen, that looks like 5 lug second gen.

But, I do believe I had a turbo 1st gen Pickup that had a shared master, I’ve been looking for a pick.

 

I mean, if you’re going to be fawked, might as well have no brakes and no clutch

 

I could have stated it better and said "previous" Tacoma's, my 2000 and 2008 had the shared reservoir but think my 2015 had separate like my 2017.

 

Same. This thread is saving my life right now.

 

clutch accumulator delete and switching to dot 5.1 fluid made my 2023 clutch much better in cold temps

 

Toyota pickups and Tacomas all use hydraulic clutches. I've actually never seen a cable clutch in any Toyota truck TBH...
