Default 2003 maybe a light grinding noise?

I have a 03Z with 15k on the clock. Friday morning when I pulled out and down the driveway it felt like a light kind of like a grinding noise. It was with the clutch pushed in. After the car warmed up it seemed to go away. Saturday morning I didn’t really notice it and today it was very faint. Maybe I’m hearing things I don’t know.

It sounds kind of like when your brakes are grinding if that makes sense? I had all fluids changed 2 years ago and the car sees about 1k miles a year.

I was bad about shutting the car off in the past while it was in neutral with the clutch out and I wonder if that has something to do with it. Car runs great under power. Thanks
