New Vehicle break-in driving (the first 1000 miles [1600km])

The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions during the first 1000 miles (1600 km):

• Do not allow the engine to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emergency.
• Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or slow.
• Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
• Avoid hard breaking, except in an emergency.

The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake linings are replaced with new ones.

You need to fully compress the clutch, then just let it fall into first, like take your time after you depress the clutch then put it into first. I've noticed that if I clutch, then wait a second or two, it will just gracefully fall into first. If I clutch then try to ram it into first it clunks pretty bad.

Is it too late to respond? lol My 2017 clunks when I fully depress the clutch at a stand still in neutral before I shift in to first gear. 65,000 miles car.

Wait for the friction disc along with all the gears to quit spinning before engaging one of them. That's all.
