Gears freeze Zafira tourer 2014

[Jameson]

We get severe frosts which cause gearbox selector problems  can take upto 25 mins with engine running before it starts to work . Any ideas ? It is a 2014 Zafira Tourer diesel .

Thanks  AJ

Gear oil is too heavy grade possibly (although quite unlikely in UK) - manual transmission ?

It is manual , recently minus 5 after 20 mins ticking over no give . Could only access 1 and second gear from the start … Had to go around the estate for 5 mins  then it started to free other gears.
