Yep i'm the same, MY01 WRX...

Apparently the clutch plate can build up "residue" which causes it primarily when cold, don't know how keen i am on this but a few folk have recommended a couple of hard launches (4-5k rpm clutch dumps) is enough to clean the plate....

Up to yourself though! (disclaimer, lol)

Bet your relieved its a "nothing to worry about" response and not you need a new clutch! I was kinda the same at first...

Plus it gives you an excuse to boot it off the line, lol.

Have fun!
