Manual trans for me as well. I have gotten it a few times with several cars. Once it was so cold I had to use a camp stove under my samurai to warm it up enough to start at all. Then had to run the engine for a bout 10 min with the clutch pressed and slowly let it out to get it to turn the transmission, like getting going up a very steep hill.
