Maybe its the tranny fluid

both my Si and my dad's s2000 are hard to shift when frozen, maybe its just a honda tranny thing

Double coned synros. I don't know why people hard shift with a cold car anyways, but ^ is the reason it's hard to get into gear.

I had that problem, and the guy that I bought the trans from did not use the proper trans fluid. Many people use other fluids, and not honda spec, but alot of them dont know that honda gears are much finer, and have tighter synchro meshing than let's say nissans. For integras and civics, You can use 30w motor oil

, due to the viscosity being the same as honda fluids.

when mine teg is cold I can't hard shift but i don't want it too
I use castrol GTX 5w40 and it works great
Older honda's always have engine oil in there gearbox (normaly 10w40)
