Default Clanking Sound When Shifting Hard

I have an '02 Z and when i change gears and release the clutch to quickly i can hear a slight clanking sound coming from under the shifter area maybe towards the front of the car a bit. If i switch gear while pulling the clutch out smoothly there is no noise, i have 28000 mi on it.
Any i should be worried about, or ideas it can be, hoping its not the drive shaft. Thanks.

Default 2001 Clanking Sound

My 2001 Z has always had some driveline "clanking" Especially noticable when you do an rapid clutch engagement. This is a combination of clutch and transmission play and I've learned to live with it.
