I started my car today, it sat since Friday the 13th. (10 days no starting)

It fired right up, first shot. (Manual w/ pushbutton start) It was rolling over slowly due to -17Celcius (not incl. wind chill).

The transmission fluid was so thick, the gear selector felt like it was set in molasses. Then when I let out the clutch so I could go clear the snow off, the rpm dropped to the point where the car started shuttering. Checked for the 3rd time that I was in fact in neutral, and let the clutch out much more slowly so the computer could increase the revs as I let out the clutch.
