Default Noise from the rear/ Hard starting

When i start my car in the morning, the car feels like it has a hard time starting up. But thats not a real big deal to me right now. But the real big problem is when i shift from parked to drive. The rear makes this loud clunk noise, it didnt make this noise before so im kinda scared that is might be a problem. After i drive the car for a while, the sound goes away.

The car is a 07 is250 with 36k miles.

What should i do? Should i schedule a service for it? Its still under warranty.

Also, a service light came up this morning when i started my car.

Does the car make the noise when your on a slanted surface(i.e: the driveway) or does it also occur on a flat driveway?

What error light are you getting? VSC? Check engine light? or Oil change light?

My car makes this noise when its extremely cold out, probably a cold transmission and the fluid being not up to temp
