Default Shift Rattle

my shift knob tends to shake to the extreme. The vibration is really bad and when ever i step on the clucth to shift gears, the gears go in really rough. As to be scrapping something.
On the other hand clutch grabs fine, the RPMS dont drop at all.
So i was wondering if any would be able to tell me if this are sings of a bad clutch master or slave cylinder.
Someone told me it could be the fly wheel.
Anyway i hope someone can give there input on this and thank you for taking the time.

Maybe. How is the level of your clutch fluid? When was the last time you changed it? Any leaks at either cylinder under the car or near the clutch pedal?

The knob shaking and the difficulty shifting may be two different problems.

I'd pull the shifter lever and make sure nothing is broken or loose in there. You can regrease it while you're in there.
