Clutch Chatter

[Mustang5L5]

Lately i notice that at time my clutch will chatter while in gear if i jump on it slightly. For example, 2nd gear 2000RPM and i blip the gas a tiny bit for a second, i'll hear a second's worth of what i think is chatter. (or it may be pinging...ill run some 89 octane next tank)

My car only has 20,000 miles. This can't be a sign of pending clutch replacement is it??

If i toss it in 4th and punch it i don't have any slipping at all.

I think its the Driveshaft Vibrationg a bit. Mine does the same thing...Its not the clutch.

I will be replacing my driveshaft with the aluminum driveshaft in the near future and see if it goes away....

I just went for a little drive to test it out.

It only does it at 2000RPM in 3rd and 4th gear. It also doesn't do it every time. It's very odd but only does it if i blip the gas very quick. If i go WOT or downshift a gear nothing.

My brand new clutch was chattering and come to find out it was the clutch fork and pivot ball...but this would happen at idle and during driving.

Well it didn't do it today.

Only time i can make it do it is if i slip the clutch to the point where the engine almost stalls...but as long as i remember all Mustangs have done that.
