Weird noise on cold start with clutch depressed

[Bootyfett69]

Please ignore the annoying knock, I’m referencing the groaning sound (Idk how else to describe it)

It goes away as soon as I release the clutch. Only really present on cold starts and I can’t replicate by revving the car while the clutch it depressed. It’s only on cold starts

Mine does this as well. I'm curious

Intermittent, hasn’t done it today at all. Will prolly show my shop this video when I get an oil change in a month or so

Yeah mine only does it first thing in the morning. I'm about to do a transmission oil change soon I'll see if it continues

Mine does it too. Some sort of clutch chatter is all I can chalk it up to. Or just the release bearing waking up

My 2025 fl5 started making a similar noise to this last week. In the morning after sitting all night in my garage (~60F) it doesn't make the noise. But after work, or after sitting outside (80 - 90F) it does. Very odd...

Does anyone know the cause? And if we are lucky, a solution?
