Default Clutch chatter?

ok wen ever i first get out of first gear if i let the rpm go under 1k i can feel something in my engine bay making a vibration that can be felt while i am inside of my car but if i keep the rpm above 1k while gettin out of first gear i can still feel the vibration noise but not as strong. And i can also feel a little vibrating when i switch from first gear to second gear and second gear to third but after third i dont feel any vibrations. Any advise will help i think it might b clutch chatter but in not 100% sure thanx for viewing,.

Have you even tried the suggestions so far? If its NOT the mounts let us know.

There really aren't a whole lot of probable cause.

Clutch chatter would be more so felt with a jerking whilst maintaining a steady rpm not simlply a vibration .
You should jack the car up , prop it have someone engage the drive and run first gear
while listening for actual location of vibration could be something loose within the engine bay

Hey guys, i know this is 14 years later, but for anyone having this issue, i was having the same thing. The car was jerking along with the shifter when releasing the clutch from 1st from a stop. I checked the battery and there was not enough current when idle and revving in 2k rpms (under 13V). When i looked at the alternator it was shooting sparks(not giving enough current). Luckily my issue was only a loose screw but check your batteries and alternators people
