Clunking Noise When Engines Cold

[Martin_FR]

When I first start the engine from cold, theres a slight clunking noise as the engines idling. It stops when I put the clutch in so im thinking its gearbox related.

Anyone experienced this? Cars still under warranty but only happens when cold so by the time I got to the garage (60 miles away) they would hear nothing

Sounds like a clutch thrust bearing to me...how many miles has it done?

Cars done 27,000 miles

If it's the same noise I hear when the car's idling, then it's nothing to worry about. Once it's warmed up it's fine.

May be the dual mass flywheel

I would only worry when you can't get a gear...
