Newbie Questions: 1st,2nd Shift Jerkiness and clunk?

So finally got myself an 07M a couple of weeks ago and I love the car...BUT I cant shift the MF'r smoothly. First to Second is jerky and when I and shifting during normal driving I feel like ive forgotten how to drink a manual (i've been driving manuals for 16 years).

I'll be driving press the clutch to the floor and its like the transmission isnt ready for me yet so I wait. The jerkinesss is embarrassing when someone is in the car with me and I find myself over trying to drive smooth.

Occasionally i'll get into a groove and all is good but then i'll do it again and get annoyed.

The other thing ive noticed is when I and moving slowly like when parking I hear a small clunk when I press the clutch as the engine disengages from the tranny.

Is the shifting all the dumb CDV I keep reading about? Is the clunk a worn quibo (if this guy has on like my 99M did)/. BTW I have 12k miles on the car if it helps to know what my issues are.

Thanks and sorry for the rant.
