Clutch slipping? Tranny?
Ok guys need a little help with this one. I drive a 2000 Camaro with a T5 trans. I have done a little research on here about it but not much has fit the description of what my car is doing.
So after my car has been driven a little bit during the day, I start to get an issue where when I let off the clutch to accelerate (mainly from a stop in 1st), the whole car shudders. Depending on how aggressive I accelerate and what not depends on how violently it shakes. I know it isn't that I'm not giving it enough gas because it is only after the car has been driven around a little during the day (in the beginning of the day/when the car is cold I don't have this issue).
I want to think it is just an old clutch because I don't believe it has been change in it's 105,XXX mi lifetime but my dad doesn't seem to think so. My tranny is a little leaky so he thinks it is the lack of transmission fluid but I don't see how that could cause this type of shuddering. I am going to try to get a video of it to help out with the description.
Thanks for the help guys.
Here is a good video of what is happening (neither are my car):

Well if a manual shutters like you described it would be the whole tranny coming loose from the bell house but whay you described sound just like a clutch in it last few days of operation. If the chatter get bad enough it will damage the trans.
Metal gears can't really cause a shuttering. They can make all kinds of noises but it is just gears on a shaft to do anything that you would feel it would have to jump a tooth. Manuals do not have the clearance to jump a tooth unless the whole thing is coming a part.
If its as bad as you describe it all needs pulled a part anyway. Once the tranny is out you can check by hand.
Edit:
Your posting generic videos of clutch chatter and saying this is what my car is doing and your asking us what wrong with the Car?
