Was driving earlier and changed from 2nd upto 3rd at about 35mph. When it went into gear it "clunked" which is the best way I can describe it. It didn't come out of gear, just clunked. It did it later on when I changed from 3rd to 4th. I've never had this before and just wondering if I should be worried

could be an engine mount they are quite common to wear.
but it could be as bad as the gearbox selector is starting to wear
