Diff chatter when cold?

My 2014 has 1300 miles and recently I noticed I'm getting a little bit of "chatter" from the diff when the car is cold (note that it's 70* out). It's not audible but I can feel it when moving away from a stop right after I start the car - no amount of feathering the clutch/less gas/more gas seems to make a difference. It goes away after a couple of shifts. Full disclosure, I recently did the clutch grab mod - initially I had the clutch pedal way too low (no grinding but I could smell the clutch burning on my 500 ft test drive ), but adjusted it back to near stock (sometimes I still think I get a whiff of burnt friction material but I can't be sure, might be in my head). Anyhow not sure how that would matter, I am definitely feeling the chatter from the rear end and not from the clutch. Anyone else experience this?

I've got about 3000 miles on my 2014 and have noticed it too. From what I remember it's been going on since day one and I haven't done any mods that should affect it.

I figure I still have a while for the warranty to run out so I'm going to see if it gets any better or worse. I'll post on this thread if I find anything out about it.
