Default Rattle-less take offs in 1st hard when hot

Has anyone else had this issue with their 6mt Zs? I'm no stranger to driving stick but with this car I notice that as the car gets hotter (driven around, etc) it's harder to take off in 1st gear without a slight rattle. The only way to avoid this, that I've found, is by revving to 1500rpm or so and letting the clutch out. Alternatively, when I release the clutch really really slow and give gas, the marbles in a can noise seems lessened.

I also DON'T notice this rattle during the first few minutes of starting the car. Which makes me curious if this is a gearbox noise or clutch/flywheel, all of which are stock by the way.

In addition to the car needing to be hot for this to happen, I've also noticed it seems worse in the summer weather when it's really hot compared to the chillier temps. Just curious if this is characteristic of the Z or not.
