whenever i push the clutch down at 1st gear..sometimes it makes a clunky noise. but just sometimes...and then when i shift it..it will make another clunky noise. this is only going from 1st to 2nd gear though. the change feels smooth though. i was wondering if anybody knows anything about it or it happens to them.. thanks

 

Mine doesn't cliunk, but may be torque release from the driveshaft

 

Lots of us experienced that, there was a thread about it in one of the forums, can't remember which one, I'll try to find it for ya...

Don't worry, it's not a big deal...

here it is:

clunk

 

I seem to get very smooth shifts from 2nd on up. Would you guys recommend starting on second? I tried a couple of times and have had no problems. Just wondering wether it will do the car harm in the long run. What do you guys think?

 

Personally I wouldn't, not that it's bad/good cuz honestly I don't know....

From my experience, If I let my car "warm up" for a few minutes I don't get that clunking.....

Also, when I do get the clunking, It's usually the initial first-second gear shift (right after start up)..... After that, I can shift from first-second w/o any clunking......
