    Keep it plugged in and cycle the plugs and it'll be good. I have a video I'll link tonight of a -15c cold start

    Yeah just make sure you let it warm up before you take off.

    Takes longer for the transmission to warm up also.
    Sometimes it's 2 miles before it shifts to OD when cold.

    That's why the 5r110 shifts like it does. It'll use 4th only when it's believe a certain temp. Above like 15f (not 100% on that temp) it shifts 1 2 3 5 6 skipping 4th.

    Talked to the dealer today. Got a new clutch pack and injectors, brakes, tires (gay street ones) in 09 they did head studs. Then when the service work done in September they serviced the EGR so I'm guess that hasn't been deleted.
