Default HELP!! Grinding sound when i first start car?

when i got my car back from my accident everything worked fine... but then i started hearing it make this weird sound when i first started it every day...

it kind of makes a grinding sound, and i dont know what it is, it only lasts until i start going 20 mph or so.. and then it doesnt do it for the rest of the day. I thought it was the AC.. cause I keep it on when i shut the car off... so it starts when i turn the car back on in the morning.

so I shut off the AC the other day and the sound happend again I dont know what it is. I do remember hearing it alittle bit before the accident too... is anyone else experiencing this?

next time you start the car, have everything off and the car in neutral, listen for the noise. then depress the clutch and see if it goes away. To me the noise sound like the throw out bearing, but nissan said it is the tranny and it is normal.



Hope this helps
