This may be a dumb question: Is the extremely noticeable "clunk" noise when you shift, mainly from neutral to first, or from first to second normal? I have never heard this noise in any other car. I think it sounds kind of cool, but I'm worried that there is something wrong. Any thoughts on this?

 

same thing happens to me... kinda scared me and i was going to take it to service and ask them... it's only during startup... thanks for saving me time.. =o)
