Holden Barina 2004: Clunk when changing gears?

I RECENTLY bought a new 2004 Holden Barina manual. When changing gears, especially from second to third, there is a slight clunk. My dealer said the gearbox may be a little stiff while running the car in, but I'm concerned I may be damaging it. What do you think?

IT IS possible the clunk will go away. I don't think you're doing damage, but if it's still there when you take it back for the first service, mention it again to your dealer.
