Fairly sure it is a selector switch problem on the box. Can be cleaned, though I am sure some-one else will give a better answer. Do you get any warning on the display as well as the lights by the gear lever?

Gearbox is not very likely to develop a problem because of cold weather...
Does the engine sound and behave well?

In case it is gearbox: did you check the gearbox oil?

P.S. How cold was the "extreme cold"?

enigine runs great as usual just the gear box,it seems a strange problem to me,gearbox itself seems to be ok,its almost as if the snow button is constantly on or as if clutch is slipping for the first 30 secs or so its fine then when changes up to 2nd the lights come on at speed 60 or so its fine but have to change down  by using the lever.not checked the level,will do that today.it hit -16.9 where i live!cold!thanks all for your help!
