so when i start my car in the morning it will make a noise as if your holding the starter for too long. or if you have ever done it before, crank a car while its already on. It only does it for about 2 seconds and its than its gone, even if i let it sit for 8 hours, the noise doesnt come back until the next morning when i go to start it. I first assumed it was the TCT but i replaced it and the noise is the same. Possibly a bad oem TCT?

Starter; mine does the same exact thing on the occasional morning. Only happens when it's cold outside; never does it in the summer. I can live with it until it starts to annoy me/I want to dump money into it.
It's nothing you'll have to replace/fix immediately, but will probably be something in the near future to fix.

its the starter. the grease and the clutch particle become seized when cold. i would replace it if it was your daily driver. either rebuild, clean, or buy a new/used one. so when your car isn't starting and your battery is perfectly fine just gotta wait till temperature is average again.
