Well most mornings I have No time to warm up my engine before im off to school, and when its cold there is like a grinding noise or something, I cant even describe it, but was wondering if you have any idea what this could be? once its warm the noise is gone and it Only happens right around 3k rpm's. thanks in advance

is it when depressing the clutch? could it be more described as a loud screech.

Nope no screech at all, clutch is A-Ok, it just happens when im in gear and hit around 3k rpm's, I will try to get a better listen tomorrow, maybe it could just be my engine is freezing cold and im pushing it too hard? If I shift at 2500~ it doesnt make the noise.

when you hear it try to form as accurate description as posible of the sound it is making. and from your vantage point its approximate location to where your sitting.
