Hello good people

My current manual transmissions 1.2 DIG-T 115 Qashqai from 2018 is only my second car ever. I've had three motorcycles before though, one of which would sound like a metal coffin being dropped to the floor every time I shifted gear.

So this may be all normal, but I just thought I'd check: every time I change from 2nd to 3rd and engage the cluch (release the pedal) there is a slight metallic mechanical sound. It's only from 2nd to 3rd and never from 1st to 2nd or 4th to 5th. Sometimes I can make it less obvious if I give it just the right amount of throttle but sometimes it just feels random.

Do you guys get this sound too?

Is it happening when moving through gears when stationary? And 6th?

But, If thats under warranty get it back to Nissan PDQ. Could be gearbox or clutch....either way it sounds as if its happening under thrust.
