Grinding Noise

[Mattitude v1]

My car makes a scraping/grinding noise after it's started in the morning. When I back out of my driveway, it stops. I hear it again when I start driving in 1st gear and a little in 2nd. Goes away in 3rd or once I'm driving for a bit. Then if I start the car again during the day, I hear it once I start driving in 1st, then will go away. It sounds like it's coming from the engine. It's not the harmonic balancer because I recently replaced it and the noise is not coming from that area. Any ideas?

like... a metal to metal noise? or a belt rubbing noise?

Does it sound like its on the transmission side of the head like cam bearings? Mine gets that every once and a while.

Metal to metal noise, it's not the belts.

I noticed that the noise goes away when I fully push in the clutch. Someone told me it's the throwout bearing that's causing the noise and not to worry about it. What do you guys think?

my throw out bearing makes noise while its pushed in. Not at rest. It could be your TOB, just wearing differently.
