I hear the short grind for a second after cold startup. Is starter going bad on my '00 GT ?

I don't remember this issue from previous winters, but I was living in Philly before. Nights are much colder here in Colorado.

On the other hand, I was searching the web and found exactly the same issue discussed for 2007 toyota. Toyota claimed it is normal for very cold startups:

What do you think?

Sounds like the starter solenoid is hanging up a bit when deenergized. If it gets worse, just replace it.

On our cars, is solenoid a part of starter assembly?
Can it be replaced by itself?
