got my z yesterday.. i notice that there is a clunk sound when i press the clutch to go from 1st to 2nd or from 2nd to third. it's less noticeable if i accelerate very very lightly.. or if i let off the throttle before pressing the clutch.

originally i'm thinking if i just suck at driving a stick.. but i've had a s2000 for 3 years and never heard anything like this. driven a handful of stick-shifts and never experienced this on any other car either..

i test drove 3 370z's b4 at dealerships and they all have the same clunk sound. So i don't think it's really an issue. but i'm just concerned if there's something wrong with the way i do clutch in and shift.. anyone notices the same thing?
