Default NEED HELP!!! Throw out Bearing??

99 Gt 4.6 5 Speed... In the morning or when the vehicles cold i push in the clutch and i hear a grinding noise almost similar to that of the machine turning rotors ( resurfacing them ) but the only thing is the noise in the clutch stops when the car warms up a bit???? i had another mustang and it needed a throw out bearing and it would chirp when u let off the clutch.. this is the total oppisite it only makes the sound when i push in the clutch and its a total different sound this is a grinding sandpaper sound.. what baffels me is y does it only do it when its cold??????? clutch pushes in as normal and shifts like normal... pls help!!
