Your description still does not have enough information. What kind of gear noise? Grinding? Popping? Winding? Rattle? How often does it occur? How can we help if you barely give us information?
Regardless.....if you think there is something wrong, bring it to the dealer for possible warranty work.

Mine does this also. However, I found it only did it when I pressed the clutch in before the RPMs had gone down enough. It never has this issue at speed, thankfully.

There shouldn't be a noise when you press the clutch pedal in, regardless of what speed you are running when you press it. All that does is separate the the engine from the transmission. If there's a noise, then there may be something wrong that needs to be checked by your dealer.

Does it sound like when you add another plate to a weight bench bar? Like a rattle of two metal plates hitting each other?

I get the noise when going slow at low RPM and the clutch is pushed in. Its a clunky shutter sound.

Is this the first standard transmission you have had? From what I get out of your descriptions, I am guessing the engine is about to stall when you push the clutch in, (meaning you are waiting too long to push the clutch in), and the noise is the pressure that is on the drive line releasing and making the drive shaft "bounce". If this is the case, it is operator inflicted and nothing wrong with the car.
On a side note, you have only had the car a week, and you already have 1100 miles on it, you don't let it cool off much do you? |

Yeah I need it to rest but its a fun car to drive. I slowed down driving it. I noticed if I push the clutch slow it doesn't make the noise. I think everything is ok
