I've always had stock Subaru Fluid 75w-90 in the trans, changed at regular intervals. I changed the fluid 1K miles ago which helped, but now it's difficult again.
I understand these transmissions are known for mild crunches in the cold but a complete inablity to get into gear is new to me and this car. Is something worn? Clutch adjustment? Rear trans mount? Transmission internals?
Everything shifts great once warmed up.

Totally common, I had/have the same thing. The solution is to just rev match and its no big deal. Don't force it into gear if it won't go, if you rev match it properly it glides right into gear with very little resistance.
