Hello All, Just have a quick question, I have a 72 1.7, It has been unseasonably cold up here in northern Arizona. I took the opportunity while my car was tucked safely away in the garage due to the snow to make a few small repairs, speedometer cable and such, It was 20 degrees and wet outside but decided to go for a test rip around the block to see if my speedo was working. I think I felt a little clutch chatter under hard acceleration in 2nd gear, never did it before and I drive it all the time, but I have never driven it when it was this cold outside and It wasnt even warmed up. My question is if the extreme cold could cause the clutch to "chatter" alittle bit under hard accel? Any input would be welcomed, Thanks!

40 or 50 degress isn't going to make that big a difference, it's something else.
