Odd, I LOVE mine now that it's cold. Just put it in last weekend.

Default I grind the hell out of 1-2, even on a double clutch and 1 sec. wait. I love it when it's warm, but
I may switch it back to stock fluid, due to the cold.

Default Mine isn't like that.
It might be a bit stiffer when cold, but no grinding or anything that major. You might have some other issue with the transmission.

Default Try draining half out, and top it off with MTL.
MTL is a little thinner. It helps with the cold weather shifting, but I think it's a little lighter than Audi recommends, so I wouldn't run it straight. A 50/50 mix should improve things based on what I've seen in the archives.

Did you use MT90 or MTL?
