hey guys, my 96 80 with 215k miles makes a terrible noise at start up (see Video) and I have no idea what it is. I put in a brand new denso starter about 5k ago so I don’t think that is the issue. Any help would be much appreciated.

video here:
 
It sounds like the starter is still engaged for a bit after...hence the sound
 
I should note this only happens on cold starts after it has been sitting overnight or for a while. This is why I am questioning whether it is the starter or not

cold could mean sticky engagement, when it warms it probably releases more freely?...just thinking out loud
 
Sounds like starter isn’t fully disengaging, I would start there.
 
If you bought the starter from Toyota it should have a 12/12 warranty, I am not certain how long but should have some coverage if it was a denso from a parts house.
