My 97 doesn't do that. It does feel a little sluggish when it's really cold, but never stays down.

well it really doesn't stay down it just very sluggish, and it takes more time than usual to spring up

One winter got so cold that the clutch pedal in the 70 Duster had to be lifted by hand. That was just plain simple frozen.
