It only occurs when I relese the clutch in first gear for the first time of the day. Noise starts when clutch is starting to engage with the flywheel, and stops a seconds after engaged. It is very hard to describe. The car shifts fine, with out any of the cold shift problem.

It starts as soon as the clutch engages, and for a second after foot is off the pedal? 1998 SVT Contour Silver/Midnight Blue 1673 of 6535 00' SVT Rims KKM Sill Protectors Mobil 1 5w30 K&N Air Filter Mobil 1 badge(from the cobra R) 50% tint ~100,000 miles
