I recently changed the water pump and it so followed that I changed the oil as well.

I started her up and got the (apparent common) clunky 1st and 2nd during gear-shift between them and neutral.

Never had this before. At first I thought: too much slack in the clutch cable. So, I adjusted it a bit but, it is still quite audible and adjusting the cable didn’t really help...

She has done 32 000 km and I do not suspect any damage or excessive wear of the clutch or gears. 
Can it be the oil – Shell HELIX HX5 (DIESEL) 15W-40.
