I just bought the car from a dealer and when starting it.up everything is fine. Its after i shift from first to second (clutch disengaged) i hear a faint scraping noise. I know there are a bunch of metal plates under the car so i thought possibly this could be it. I took it to the dealer and could replicate the noise. I found that the noise is most prominent after the vehicle has been sitting.for a while.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
