Default Is my clutch going?

In 4th gear my car seems to grind and it's usually on cold days but doesn't always happen, any ideas?

if its gear specific sounds more like your synchros than a clutch

I had a similar problem due to a bad syncro.

If you have an aftermarket stick, like a Hurst, check to make sure that your positive stops aren't too aggressive. (The bottom/rear stop is square on the stick when its in 4th gear.) The cold could be messing with those also, if you are on the edge with them.
