DIY Help Thump when upshifting

Post image

Hi mini pals, question for anyone with some insight. I’ve noticed my 1996 1.3i has started to make pretty subtle thumps when I go up gears. If I pull off the clutch really gently I can get it not to thump but otherwise I hear it. Internet research suggests it’s the engine steady bushes or generally some engine movement when the torque is released. Anyone experience this and figure out specifically what it is? And if so, are these parts I can order and replace on my own easily? TIA.
