Has anyone considered the fact that the tranny has built in shifter stops? Maybe the clunk is the shifter hitting the stops.

My 06 GT clunks only from 1st to 2nd on low speeds , wether warm or cold .
I avoid the clunk waiting about 1 second before inserting the 2nd gear , clutch down .

Hope this can help , at least in town driving ...

it's a feature of the 5 speed being very notchy combined with a heavy rotating assembly and a two piece driveshaft. I hear lots of noise will go away if you swap the driveshaft for a lighter one piece unit and lighten up the flywheel.

Actually, this is not true. The oem driveshaft is designed to conceal noise. I have the one piece, lighter driveshaft, and I still have the "clunk." However, it's not a major issue for me, and I consider it the "nature of the beast."
