Re: Clunk pressing in clutch while in first.
Here is a possible cause: Is your foot completely off of the gas when you depress the clutch pedal? Sometimes I notice a clunk caused by a mistimed shift when I unload the clutch too quickly. Try letting off of the gas earlier and see if it makes a difference in the noise.
Not trying to say that you don't know how to drive stick, just putting it out there...
