I'm running my 80 Riviera just fine in this weather (handles the crappy
roads far better than the wife's Toyota), but until it warms up it feels as
if the tranny is filled with grease, I mean really stiff and hard to find
first. It's not that cold, they say 20 below with wind chills the last few
days, but I wonder if the last PO put in the right weight of oil in the
tranny. Is this normal for these rigs? I've never noticed such a change in
any vehicle I've driven before except when it hits something like 30 below
or more.
