Exclamation Clutch ratteling when really cold?

so the past couple days that it has been cold, when i start up the 240D (in one crank) with temps in the 30's the engine rattles alot. i didnt find out till today that i was the clutch, b/c when i depress the clutch, the rattling goes away. after it warms up a little or if i drive it for 2 second the rattleing goes away when its idoling.f i increase the idol speed when cold it will go away also. when temps are warmer it never does this. is this because the engine is ideling really low because of the cold temps?
