ive read alot about this, its a common problem in all integras, auto or 5 speed, just let your car warm up in the morning, i do it now and no problem, takes about 2-3 minutes but well worth that crunchy noise. but if youre really worried about it, check your tranny fluid, and if you havent changed fluids out in a while which seems doubtful seeing as you have an expensive ass motor. get it done.
