I have found my 55 hard shifting in the winter, but it was due to 90 weight oil. The gear lube gets real thick in the cold weather, making for poor shifting.

If you decide to run the normal oil and it is stiff shifting , let the pto run.
I found that letting the pto run warms up the oil quicker as opposed to it not running.
