My guess is that if you delayed shifting for a moment to build up a little more speed, you'd not get that annoying clunk.
Give it a try.

I see what you're saying but the "clunk" noise happens when I step on the clutch. It's a weird feeling because the car somewhat jerks a little when the "clunk" happens. Can it be that the oil for the gears aren't warm? I heard of something like that.
