Default what is this noise

I just bought this car it doesn't make it when the car is warm just on cold start and even now when its hot out 85f it makes it for like 10 seconds then its gone the rest of the day. I don't know how to explain it I can't get the video off my phone but its like a bearing doesn't matter clutch in out. I'll post it to YouTube here in a second

Probably just piston slap if it's only on a cold start. Don't stress it if it is. It's completely normal. But try to get a video of it if you can

I've had a ls2 gto and it never sounded like it and its louder than the engine and sounds like a bearing rattling around then it finds its place. I think its the input bearing cause its loudest on the right side of the car and more towards the bellhousing area.

I understand what you're experiencing. Even thought it won't cause any damage, it's really annoying when it happens.
