Default Clutch, Throwout bearing, Flywheel

What noise could these parts make? When I engaged first gear I hear a noise, almost like a clunk, maybe not. Next time I hear it, I'll post it, but it's not every time. Help anyone?

What clutch set up do you have?
I know when my Spec clutch was starting to fail my Spec clutch
was making all kinds of noises.My Spec clutch disc was chattering
and ticking.My Spec throwout bearing was making a terrible sqeaking
noises before it fail.I know a clunk noise from the transmission area could possibly be you transmission mount failed or is failing.

Doesn't sound like a TOB.

If the clutch was dragging slightly you might hear a "clunk".

OTH when stopped, depressing the clutch pedal and quickly (almost simultaneously) going into gear could normally clunk (slightly) as the transmission main shaft and the clutch disc come to a stop...

As far as I know, this is the stock clutch, tob, and flywheel. It doesn't feel like it's dragging. Everything engages well, it's just this clunking sound when I get into first.
