Default Cold weather makes my clutch soft?
Alright car techies, now that it's been alot colder outside my clutch pedal is very soft until the point where the clutch engages. After 10-15 minutes of driving the clutch starts to get more springy and stiffer. The car is a GSR and I have been wondering if it's something more serious...

The fluid is probably just cold and thus more viscous, which leads to a spongy feel. Also, shrinkage may be an issue...

After I drove my car for a longer period of time (15+ minutes) and did some sliding around in the snow it warmed up. Clutch was good as new.

I'm pretty soft too when it's cold outside.
