The clutch resistance has nothing to do with ambient temperature. And it will never actually "lock up", there will always be a certain amount of play.

Engine temp will be well over 100deg before you notice any firm resistance.

Also the manual says to NEVER lay them down on their side. Don't know why but that's what it says.
