Identifying Transmission/Clutch Noises

Delete this if it becomes a sticky, but I have one for you.

Whenever I am engaging a gear (letting the clutch out), I hear a ping. It sounds like someone hitting a spoon against a metal pole. It only does it in 1st and 2nd, and only does it about 1 in 4 shifts. Seems to do it more the faster I let the clutch out. BTW I have never dumped the clutch, or even barked a tire. Clutch is new, and grips fine, releases fine.. any ideas?
