Default Very Loud Transmission Shifts?

Is it just me or do the shifts sound very loud in the Z. For example when I shift through the first 3 gears with my windows open and radio off I can hear "cuh clink"

Is this normal or should I bring it to the dealers attention next time I get my oil changed?

i don't think there is anything wrong with the trans.

i just had mine replaced and it makes that noise however it shifts nicely and smooth with the new clutch and fresh tranny.

however it makes the "thunk" when i shift hard instead of slowly and no "thunk"
