Hey guys...

just recently after every cold start, when the oil temp is at C...

I drive and there is this weird noise... I went to dealer but hard to duplicate since it only happens on cold start... so i took many videos and edit and cropped it and email it to the dealers.

Do you guys know what's wrong? Hopefully dealer replace it. I'm still under warranty.

 
Is it that little pop or gurgle I'm hearing? Is there a physical feel that is different also? It sounds like it's inside the car, is that correct?
 
Yeah... it's like a suction type noise. Guess you can call it a popping noise.

Physical feel? Not really... I can't tell.
It's inside the car yes.
 
Hrm. I haven't researched the MS3 clutch system at all, but I'm guessing I'm going to guess at a plunger in the clutch hydraulic system...perhaps the clutch master. If it wasn't dark out I'd go crawl under my car to see what other mechanical bits/bushings are on the clutch pedal and arm. Maybe a bushing came loose? But I bet you'll tell me the pedal is stiff, not loose :) so I'm just as lost as you :( .
 
Turns out to be the transmission mount that was out of place due to an accident (i assume) and it was hitting or rubbing against the frame.

Got it fixed...

Thanks for the help though guuys!
