5-speed ...is it normal to get a 'thump' after engaging in 1st gear?

Just curious, after going from neutral, is it normal to have a slight 'thump' when going from neutral to 1st gear, when pushing the clutch in and not giving it any gas (basically still staying at a stop)? I had this happen to me a few times, and I wonder if my tranny is on its way out. If so I can still have it replaced under warrenty.

My car engages into first just fine with no thump, however when the car is cold, has been sitting, theres a slightly audible thump when releasing the clutch(into neautral after starting). after those 30 seconds it goes away. my car has 100k

Hey I created another image, with a bunch of black lines, then used a 2nd burn layer on my original image, copied the black lines with a transparent background over to the 2nd image, and allowed the 2nd layer to 'burn' in. This was not done in photoshop however. The program I used is a much more simple program called 'Paint Shop Pro'.

Actually that is what I meant, just when entering 1st, and the clutch is still fully pressed to the floor.
