Clunk noise shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. . . I have experienced this from the day I picked up the car from the dealer on 9/29/16 (45 miles on car then). . I thought at first I imagined it or just needed to get used to this car since I had just turned in a 2014 lease car back to Toyota so big difference in these 2 cars. .
