Ford Fiesta MK8 1.0 transmission clicking sound

Hi all I'd like to get some help. I had my fiesta since 2023 June (bought with 22k kms now at 24k) and not long ago I have started noticing a muffled clicking or banging sound coming from around the gear stick, I assume it is related to something to the transmission in which topic I'm not an expert in to say. Anyways the sound is only hearable in 1st or 2nd gear especially at low speeds (up to 20-30 km/h). It does not effect the driveability of the car, clutch feels normal and car runs smoothly, but i worry i need to take it to a dealership to have look at it. I have read about a similar problem on other forums saying it might be the throwout bearing (previous owner rode the clutch to much?) but i hope it is not the same. I had a 2016 model (bought with 50k kms sold 75k kms) previously and have not met this problem. Anyone else had the same problem?

Thanks for your responses in advance!
