Default Clunk when shifting into first gear?

I noticed that sometimes when shifting into first gear, I can feel this slight "clunk" sensation coming from the bottom of the car... this only happens sometimes when shifting into first from a complete stand still. It does not seem to be temperature dependent. Anyone else experience this?

does it feel stuck? like you can't go into first and try to force it? or...?

Nope, it happens even when it goes into first gear smoothly.

Ah, that sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing. Glad to hear it's "normal". Thanks!

I get a "clunk" when I shift from 1st to 2nd at low speeds (a crawl)... I know that there's no reason to shift to 2nd at such a low speed but I did it a few times... and it "clunks" every time...
