clunking sound when selecting 1st

[kennyg]

As above, my car usually makes a clunking noise when selecting first gear from stationary. I can feel it through the gearstick also.

Is this happening with anyone else?

Doesnt bother me too much but just wondered if this is normal, car has only done 2000 miles. Maybe just needs to loosen up?

god they must be pants - it's only on 33k!

I went uprated on the willy but it enhanced the vibrations a lot - whats a polybushed dog bone like day by day or should I just go for standard?
