start here...

the clunk has been discussed in detail in many threads...so far as I know all 370s have this issue...mine does as well, you just have to find the sweet spot and even then it will occasionally clunk...

good luck

Exactly, everyone seems to have the same issue. In fact it pretty much happens in most manual cars. I found the only time it does it for me is when I am parking.

It makes the big cocking noise... right?!

So its okay for the car? because it sounds as if it would be harmful to the car.

this only happens to me in first gear. so should i give it a little more gas?

So you think its because when i am in first gear as the car slowly rows i kinda let go of the clutch and use mostly the gas paddle. you think its because of that?

I noticed when I am in a traffic it occurs more often and even in parking lots.
