Does the car shutter a tiny bit as well? My rabbit did something similar after about 50k miles and the dealer attributed it to clutch wear, which I tend to agree with. I've felt it a couple times in my 86 with only 3k miles as well, so I attribute it to my clutch etiquette. Make sure you're releasing the clutch smoothly and evenly when accelerating, something I've had to retrain myself to do on this new clutch.
