Freaking cold..clutch movement slow

Last week it was pretty cold over here...it was a bit below -20C. I noticed the clutch movement was slowed down a lot. I could put the clutch in and take my foot off of the clutch and it would slowly come back up...at first I thought something had happened to the clutch, but after about 10mins of driving around it was moving faster, but not as fast as it usually does. Neone else have this problem in the cold?

Yup - perfectly normal when it's that c-c-c-c-old.

Mine did that for the first time ever last week in the parking lot after work.
It was about 8-Degrees out.
I just left it in “N” and pushed the pedal in/out about 20-times.

It's a hydraulic clutch, right? Doesn't the fluid get all gummy and thick when temps get REAL cold?

Mine does that too, but only when it's very close to zero and has been in the parking lot all day.
