The loud "clunk" from 1st-2nd is known in this car, it's normal. Some have gone the route of changing the trans oil, but it's not entirely necessary. The trans is a bit finicky when cold, allow your engine to warm up before driving. During your first 5-7 mins of driving, shift at a higher RPM (3.5k-4k). The clunk will not go away entirely, but will feel easier to get into gear as the car gets to optimal operating temps.
