Starter question.

Hey guys. I've been going through previous starter questions, but none of them seem similar to my problem.

If the car's been sitting on the driveway overnight and I go out in the morning to start it, it makes a helluva grinding sound for 2 seconds, then starts.

If it's been driven for 15-20 minutes and I turn it off, then start it after another 5 minutes, she starts smooth.

The engine's totally stock, not a single mod.

The posts I've read seem deal with the engine not starting at all when it's too hot so this has me stumped.

Any and all help is much appreciated.

check to make sure the mounting bolts are tight...if so you may need to add some shims ......
