I am currently working on a 1958 Dodge Royal, 100% stock with the push button trans. The issue that I am running into, is that when at a stop, going into first gear, there is a noticeable clunking sound, and then after that all other gears operate fine, even reverse. I did this with the transmission warm and full of fluid. Are there any dodge transmission experts that can give me a few tips to being diagnosing this? Any linkage adjustments or internal adjustments? The trans was "rebuilt" five years ago but had been sitting alot since. Any help is appreciated!

could be an u joint, likely the rear one (cross and roller). cheap and easy fix.
