Gearbox and idle acting odd in the cold - Page 5

As title says.

Today has been the coldest day in ages and I noticed a few odd things.

1. Gearbox slow to change down a gear when stopping at traffic lights, braking in third it shifts into 2 late and with a light thud you can feel the downshift but it's not bad.

2. With engine at running temp I started the car and while it was in park it kept trying to idle at 200rpm, this of course made it a bit lumpy, shift into drive and revs rose to 500rpm which the car is fine with.

Firstly with the gearbox issue I thought of a gb sensor but after getting the idle I'm thinking more engine related.

Any ideas?
