My car, 94 honda accord dx, has recently started to make this noise. It stops when I put the clutch in and comes back when I release. It hasn't been that long yet so i can't really back up this trend but the noise stops after i drive the car for a bit, maybe 5-10 minutes. Any suggestions for a potential problem?

 

Sure it's not the belts?

 

The Clutch Throwout Bearing sounds like it's ready to give up the ghost. Over the course of time the assembly grease starts congealing; causing the outer bearing case to drag (make noise). Once it warms up, it shuts up until the next deep freeze.
When was the last time the clutch was replaced?

I don't think the clutch has ever been replaced. I bought the car bone stock at about 130K miles. Do you think the weather has something to do with this? It has started making this sound recently as the weather got pretty cold pretty fast due to cold fronts. I live in new orleans. I think I may have replaced the clutch slave or master cylinder once but not the actual clutch.

 

Fourteen years and 130,000 miles is an exceptional (and really quite surprising) life for a Clutch System; and I'd be quite surprised myself if it wasn't at the point of replacement.
You'd know if the clutch had been replaced. The job isn't for the faint hearted.
