Q: Clutch maybe Transmission noise

asked by on January 21, 2016

on cold startups, sometimes a clunking noise emerges when I release and engage the clutch. Not only that, for example, when I am in first gear and I am at a high RMP ,maybe 4000 to 5000, and I accelerate and let go off the accelerator quickly , I hear that same noise. What could it be? Thanks.
