      Can feel where gears are suppose to be but you can put shifter anywhere without use of clutch no grinding..heard somewhere that hydraulic clutches sometimes freeze in cold temps..is this poss

        It is possible for the hydraulic clutch to freeze since they use brake fluid and it absorbs water. Many people have found that changing the fluid in their system makes it feel much better and even lighter too.

          I don't live where it gets really cold.. I would guess brake fluid thickens in extreme cold?
          I'm thinking maybe it pushed the fork but did not retract for some reason..
          Here it is recomended we depress the clutch while in storage.. My BCS is notorious for sticking over winter
