something wrong with my transmission?

So I traded in my '15 camaro v6 for a 14' ss w/manual. It has around 35k miles into it now. I have this problem when Im driving at low speeds (5-10 mph) in first or second gear while letting of the gas pedal i hear this kinda "clapping" noise like almost if something is loose Idk what could it be. Also I have this problem when shifting from first to 2 gear the stick kinda gets stuck a little. Any idea what could it be?

That's pretty normal for the SS. Some say it's the trans, I think it's driveline slack. If you are smooth you can avoid it. That is, don't suddenly lift, and if you do, hit the clutch before the lift and pull 2nd.
You can start in 2nd if you don't need all the acceleration 1st has.

And the 1-2 can be a bit notchy, especially when cold.

It's the multi piece driveshaft bouncing clockwise and counterclockwise. They call it a two piece....it's a piece alright....
