Transmission in winter questions



So, It's winter.  It's not as cold here in Dc as some of our naighbors to
the north get, so please don't flame me with "Kid, you don't *know* from
cold"  ;-)
It's really hard to get first and second gear when the car is cold.  Would
changing the gear oil, a la timbo's tech tip

help
with this?

Different, but related.  I noticed while stuck in some nasty stop and go
traffic that  the clutch pedal wasn't smooth.  It felt like there was grit
in there somewhere.  I don't notice it in regular driving, but in nasty 1
gear stop and go I was frustrated by it.  Is this tech tip,

Changing the clutch cable the thing to do to clean up that movement?

Thanks.
