This has been niggling away at me since I've had the car- I have no idea why it does it and more importantly what causes it.

When you start the car from cold and select either first gear or reverse (in fact probably any gear as I've tried it in second slipping the clutch) then lift the clutch to pull away, it grinds slightly and makes a noise like when you haven' quite pushed the gear all the way home even though it is. The car doesn't judder or have any nasty vibrations when you pull away when this happens and once you're driving it goes away literally after about 5 seconds of driving and if you stop and then pull away it is fine with no noise at all. Granted I haven't checked the gearbox oil level and I have an oil change on my to do list along with the diff oil but wondering what else it could be?

Ps- anyone at japfest who wants to listen then come find me :)
