if you depress the clutch while still on the throttle the rapid release of pressure in the drive train when the clutch disengages will cause a loud "clunk". this only happens in lower gears where the engine RPMs are a lot different from the axle RPMs. in low gears your engine torque is multiplied quite a bit. the engine and transmission twist on their mounts. when you disengage the clutch without releasing the pressure, all the parts that twisted slam back into place. it's not a good thing.

Again thanks everyone for the responses and feedback.

I will be trying the double release process (1->N->2) and also ask the dealer to check the above mentioned parts.

Happy holidays everyone!

I am having this in my 996. Changed motor mounts today and seemed a little better. How else would you fix this? You say it's not a good thing...what is the fix?
