Default is it because...?

Since you notice I am from Canberra, where it is usually cold in winter... I drove my fez to work today, and I noticed when I was driving from the start after stopping to let other car pass, and when I went, the car gave a little shudder and I was forced to rev a litte bit more to keep the car moving, and it was fine but I noticed my gear stick felt a bit sticky but not smooth as I usually feel. Is it just the cold start that is affecting the car?

Not sure sorry fella. My MK7 Zetec does sometimes jerk off the line when cold, it kind of refuses to accelerate but after a fee seconds later gets going. But never had your problem?

It seems to be similar to yours, she's OK now. Perhaps it is just a once off, this morning she ran just fine.
