I'm in the same boat as you, I'm totally new to driving a stick. I've thunked my tranny a few times, and I know it can't be good. I am guessing that either I've let the clutch out too fast, or I wasn't revving high enough, or something...
I keep getting a lurch when I downshift from 5th-3rd at 60mph on the freeway, but I smoothed it out by going a BIT slower on the clutch and revving higher.
Just be careful, I think when you get excited you jump off the clutch too quick and don't gas it enough in between shifts. At least, that's what it was in my case, I think
