What oil are you running in the car?
What clutch do you have?
How cold is "very cold" at startup?

Seems like your fluid is causing some type of excessive drag on the input shaft, which is making your RPMs lower when the clutch is engaged with the flywheel.

The armchair mechanic in me thinks your transmission fluid is too thick for your temperature range.
