First gear is particularly noisy. My Mustang was the same way. It's pretty normal. The "pop" sound that you hear when you clutch in while in 1st is mostly due

The "pop" sound that you hear when you clutch in while in 1st is mostly due to the amount of load in the drivetrain... particularly when you're engine braking. I generally try not to do much in the way of any decel in 1st. If I'm coming to a stop I'll just coast out of gear. Also... you pretty much eliminate clunking between gears if you shift slowly. You don't need to be shifting quickly under normal conditions... just ease it out and ease it into gear. Let the RPMs drop to match up the next gear and it should be nice and smooth.
