is there a specific brand of manual transmission fluid that has a very very low freeze point? went to start my car yesterday and it's around 2 degrees f here, i leave my car in first and it felt like sludge trying to pull it into neutral, it loosens up very quickly but it's a little worrying that it's going to get a lot colder here and i don't want my gearbox to be a solid block of transmission fluid.

i dont know how much water is in transmission fluid but as you know water expands when it freezes....
i would get that under wraps soon, it could seriously hurt some seals if its expanding when it freezes

manual transmission fluid has an extremely low freezing point. Really nothing you can do except check and see if it is milky looking and change it if so.
