Default Clunk pressing in clutch while in first.

Hey there, so i've noticed that on a cold start and after letting the engine warm up. I'll shift into first and start driving, but when i press in the clutch to go from first to second i'll hear a clunk. Not really hear a loud noise but you can feel it. I've only had the car for about a day but i think it goes away after i've driven a block or so down the street.

Just searching in google brings up a lot of articles on something called driveline lash and that it's normal (not specifically in crossfires but in, ie, jeeps and bmws) Some report that using a thicker fluid will minimize it.

There's no grinding noises or anything and the rest of the gears shift rather smoothly. I'll probably have a mechanic do an inspection to find out what the actual cause is but just wanted to check in with ya'll to see if you've experienced or heard anything like this.

The car is a 05 base 6speed with 55k miles.
