Higher temp Clutch fluid causing notchy change?

Hi all, when I replaced my brake fluid with ATE Typ200 last year I did the clutch fluid with it too. I've noticed my gear changes are more notchy when cold than they used to be and takes a while longer than it used to for them to be smooth. Could this higher temp rating clutch fluid be the culprit or not make that much difference and I should look elsewhere?

Thanks

I wouldn’t imagine that this is the case, if the gear change improves when hot maybe it’s the gearbox oil you need to look at?

Got my gearbox and rear diff oils replaced and it was a revelation.

Get it done...

I do them every 2 years - also re-grease the shifter and re grease the clutch fork every year

The only thing is that you might not have bled it fully, so it's not disengaging where it used to.

Otherwise, it's the cog box.

Giving the box high rpm"s < hold in gear>2nd or 3rd for a while<when warm>works for mine.<or just ring it through the gears>
don't know if thats helping the pump or the alignment of gear componants ect..but my shift feels better for it <as do I>
