There will be noise and stiffness, but it might shorten the duration and severity of both.
As for the threat question, on cold starts I crank the engine, let the rpms drop to the set idle speed (about 5-15 seconds depending on ambient temps) and then drive off. I want the transmission to get up to temps along with the engine and differential before proceeding to hit higher rpms.

Thanks for the reply. Honestly I don't care for the noise as long as it doesn't cause bad premature wear... but the metal clicking noises that sounds like in the fork area and not inside the transmission itself so
Shouldn't cause to much damage I think.
