Try releasing the gas pedal a little earlier. I found this to be my problem. It was all about timing because I was used to a car with a mechanical linkage and not throttle by wire. It seems that there is a slight delay and not releasing the gas sooner keeps the tranny loaded. This is what caused the clunking for me in my 1-2 shift.
