Same can be said about the transmission where the first gears are stiff when cold. If you want to educate yourself, read the story behind this:

Trust me, I don't need educating on how an MT works. I've done plenty of work on the internals of manual transmissions (not just a simple clutch swap). It's fairly common knowledge that trannys with short throws can be notchy when cold. Especially on trannys with direct linkage because everything that goes on in the tranny can be directly felt in your hand compared to that of cable linkage. But read just about any sporty car forum and you see thread after thread debating which fluid works best in to combat nochyness when cold. Again, our car isn't some special bread of MT.
Anyways, I kind of hate the use of the word "notchy". It sort of has a negative connotation. I will take the notchy, direct, percices rifle bolt feel over slop any day.
