Loud clunk when clutch pedal is released

Hi everyone, I've got a question regarding my clutch operation. My car currently has about 3500 miles, and I've noticed since the beginning that it makes rather loud noise when you release the clutch pedal. This is the video I've recorded today after a 20 minute drive, the car is fully warmed up. When I release the pedal, halfway through the pedal travel, at the engagement point there's this loud clunk. You can also feel the impact through the pedal.


It also happens when you are in 1st gear and release the pedal to crawl couple of feet without touching the accelerator. I think that it also occurs when you shift 1st to 2nd at low speed around 3K RPM and release the clutch. No matter how smooth you are, there's always that jerkiness as if you dump the clutch. All other shifts are very smooth without any jerkiness.

Is that normal or there's some issue with the clutch operation?
