On my '97 manual 850, I just drove to the local YMCA to work out tonight, and noticed that the clutch pedal is rather hard to push and returns a bit slowly (I can easily move my foot back faster than the pedal). Granted, it's -3F right now, but I'm wondering if this is mostly just a need for a good slave cylinder bleeding or if it is indicative of deeper problems. Any thoughts? Or just wait till it gets warmer?

This is probably the coldest weather the car has ever seen, as it was in Georgia it's entire life before moving to Ohio last year. Since last winter never really got below zero, it's a new experience for the beast. I has been garaged at our place until the "new" V70 T5 just showed up....

thanks in advance for any thoughts!
