Can you explain this in more detail? As in you downshifted into 4th, popped the clutch, gave it some gas,
then it popped out? Detail it just to make sure it wasn't some sort of engagement issue.

-Could this have anything to do with my trans fluid? I've read stories of people fixing this with a simple fluid change. (I'm using Royal purple because I couldn't find the Redline in stores)

Changing transmission fluid will only help with lowering overall transmission noise and allow for smoother shifting. It won't help with harmonic induced noise. A possibility for what you're hearing could be from the exhaust. The next time you're at 2.5k and you hear that noise, immediately press the clutch in and keep the same RPM. Tell us what you observe.

Everything down there is brand new except my clutch fork.
Any thoughts on this?

As long as you put a new bushing in and lubed it all up, real nice like, there shouldn't be a problem. Take the clutch slave off, take the shift fork boot out, and remove the inspection plate on the bottom of the oil pan. If you can't see any thing wrong, and there isn't pieces of clutch resting on the bottom of the bell housing, I would assume the clutch is not the cause of your problems.
