Two dealers told me the tranny takes ATF! Idiots...It wouldn't suprise me at all if they put gear oil in some S2000 trannys. A fluid change with Honda MTF couldn't hurt at all...

same thing happened to me the other day going to lunch from work. I also think it's because it's cold. Temperature here in Louisville was about 10 degrees about a week ago. I wouldn't worry. I just pushed the clutch in for short while til it got warmer and released it.

I can't imagine at the factory they put the wrong fluid in my car and once again, I absolutely know the history of this car since it left the dealership with 3 miles on it.

Yesterday morning I was out picking up some speakers for the rear and when I came back to the car to leave, I remembered this thread.
So what do I do? I sit, put the key in, twist, push the clutch in, and hit the Start Button.
Normal stuff, Right?
Right after I let go of the Start Button, I let the clutch out. Stall.
The car was warm and ambient temp was, oh, about 47
