Perhaps the key bit of info here is the fact that this occurred when you stepped on the clutch!
Maybe check your motor/trans mounts.

No racin here 
Stuck in the scatter here in NorCal

This has happened before and we've done some things,  added a vacuum line, lubricated the linkage as we thought that the throttle was sticking, check the idle screw thinking it loosened(SU's).  I fired it back up and the racing stopped but the idle now was at 2300rpm.  We had it set to 1100rpm.  Drove it home, parked it and had a couple of pints!
