1985 300D starter problem?

My 1985 300D starter seems to momentarily stay engaged on the first start of the day. Very short grinding noise after the key is released as if the gears are not disengaging on the starter. Rest of the day seems to be fine,only hear this noise if car has sat several hours or overnight. Looked thru questions on this forum and could not find anything similar. Vacuum related? I just started the self-mechanic routine, so thanks for any input.
