Rattle/Scratching Clutch/Flywheel., best i can describe as Options

[Goonter]

so when i start my car, usually on cold days, i hear kind of like a mix of scratching and rattling in the engine bay. I say scratching cause i found out that when i press the clutch the sound goes away. When I let go it comes back. Now this is only when i start the car and it goes on till i drive. After driving it's not present. Since the sound goes away when i press the clutch i was guessing somewhere along the "Clutch disk rubbing on the flywheel" area. Any input will be greatly appreciated thanks.

Not sure. My mr2 has the same thing, scratching/whirring noise until you depress the clutch. I suppose we'll see what kind of damage it causes here in a month or so.
