Morning Clutch Squeal Chirp?

    For the last month or so, the 2011 WRX has morning clutch squeal or chirping. It only happens for the first 5-10 mins in the AM.

    Nabisco had some posts about it, in fact there is a video of someone with the exact same problem.

    There seems to be two schools of thought.
    1) This is normal (I've had four imprezas, this is the only one that's done this)
    2) Things have prematurely worn out (The car only has about 4K on it.)

    I searched around here and couldn't find anything on it.

    Thoughts, guidance?

    this is normal. happens on my 08 as well and almost every other 3g wrx...even after my clutch failed and was replaced under warranty, it still happened.
    there are lengthy debates on many websites about this

    Don't these have that stupid dual mass fly-wheel?

    Lol my 2011 has the same squealing noise sometimes. In the a.m. the clutch pedal also makes a clicking noise, and vibrates sometimes too. Subaru tech says the clicking is normal.....
