Does the noise seem to come from the gearbox? Could be cold oil in there, which then warms up & thins quickly. My MX-5 had a similar issue, although the gearshift itself was also sticky on startup.

In my experience this is comes from the brake disc - when I have had it sounds like exhaust is falling off!
