Default COLD Weather and Shifting problems

Alright, with it being 3 degrees outside without considering the wind chill factor I have a feeling I know why my 98 hatchback isn't getting into gear. Having to pump the clutch to get into any gear. I was wondering if this may be related to low clutch or tranny fluid though as well and if so any suggestions on what to buy to fill up the tranny fluid or clutch fluid? Never checked them before so a bit ignorant regarding this issue. I have never had this problem till last night when the temperatures out here in Michigan decided to drop severely.

Change BOTH the Honda MTF in the tranny and flush brake fluid in the clutch system.

Yeah, that's with most cars, it sounds to be just the tranny fluid being very viscous due to the cold weather
