i havent done anything with the clutch.

i had a running issue and two 02 sensors needed to be replaced.


after getting it running straight again i noticed the engine vibration and its had a chatter for a little while.

Oh...I was thinking you replaced it while fixing your engine issues. Maybe you're flywheel is a little warped.

my clutch is chattering pretty bad now and lastnight i had the clutch pushed in and it kicked itself out of gear.

will anything get messed up if i keep driving it?

im not worried about the clutch or flywheel cause when i get it fixed ill be replacing both with aftermarket parts.

Do you have the stock clutch cable? on a 13 year old mustang, it could very well be stretched, possibly not fully disengaging the clutch. If you were to replace the clutch and flywheel, then definately replace the clutch cable. I used the ford racing adjustable, and it is simple and good.
