Vauxhall Vectra making clunking noise on gearshift

My Vauxhall Vectra C 1.9 diesel has started making an intermittent clunking/crunch through the lower gears. It does not do it when you let engine speed slow down, or when changing down, but only on the up-change. Any ideas?

Could be the dual mass flywheel starting to give up. The greatest torque reaction is on the up-changes from 1st to 2nd and 2d to 3rd.
