The RPM could be normal. It doesn't matter whether it's 20f or 90f outside, it's still a "cold start" if the engine isn't previously warmed up.
My engine usually idles at 1,800 for the first 2 minutes in very cold temperature and 1,100-1,300 in not so cold, and for a shorter time.
The transmission: Sounds like a front motor mount. Climb under the engine and inspect it for cracks.
Or just have someone shift the trans while you look at the open mask. If the engine has too much movement, it will clunk. When you shift, the engine should jiggle a little bit, but not too much. I don't know how to give you an interval of how much is "too much". It's most likely the front motor mount though.
