Bike gearboxes do not use a synchromesh mechanism (like a car)
to engage gears. A synchro mechanism brings the speed of the gears
being meshed together to the same, so the gears mesh 'silently' (no clunk)
That is not the case with a bike, so every effort to reduce the speed of the input shaft on a bike (like holding the clutch in longer) will reduce the clunk when it engages with a stationary gear in the transmission
