Default popping noise; what could it be?

Well, I was on my way home from work and the roads were kinda wet because it was raining all day. So I wasn't driving it hard at all but when I came to a stop light, I shifted into first gear, then shifted into second at about 3500 RPM's but a soon as I shifted into second, I heard this pop noise kinda like I was shifting hard but I wasn't. When I came to the second light, I shifted 3k but this time it didn't pop but at the third light, I shifted at about 3k again then it made the same pop noise. I had a lot more lights to go before I hit the freeway but it never made the noise again. I also recently had a problem with shifting into first sometimes at a stop light. When the light turns green I try and and put it into first really quick and sometimes it does not go in so then I have to put it into second then first.
As soon as I got home, I called up the shop I go to and told him everything and he said he couldn't really tell what's wrong with out looking at my car but he said it might be a bad spring in my clutch. He told me to take it over to the dealer since I still have warranty but I don't know if I trust the dealer after hearing some bad stories here on honda-tech.
It is no problem at all to drive the car but I am paranoid when it comes to my car. What do you guys and girls think it could be. P.S. I don't really race my car. Every once in a while I drive it hard but not too often. I also only have 32k on my odometer.

I think its coming from the tranny. I can kind of feel it in the gas pedal. But I'm not sure.

If so, good luck getting it fixed. My acura dealer says its normal for hondas to make clicking sounds!

No, it is more of a pop sound. It's hard to explain. Thanks for tying to help anyway.

Does it kind of sound like a flat tire (a consistant pop)?

take it to the dealer if you still have your warranty. I mean this is one of the reasons why you have it.
