Yep, sounds like the Sprag clutch to me too.

It's possibly only happening when cold because expansion of the parts when hot is accounting for the wear that's causing it to fail when cold.

It's an easy enough job to put it right with new parts, but does involve removing the Left Hand Side engine cover, and draining the oil.

Can be done in that order, but generally less messy if you take the oil out first!
