stick shakes in gear

i recently lifted my truck 3in the front with washers in the shocks 3in longer struts, and 4.5 degree cambers from napa. i also put on 33 in tires. i only have a 4cylinder shortbed 95, the engine has some slight mods like a snorkle that runs into a cold air intake, and the exhaust runs straight out after the cat.

i have recently noticed that my stick shakes when in gear, its the worse in 3rd gear. i have also noticed that the main seal i think its called, the one between the cluth and the tranny has started leaking, its leaking anti freeze. i have been keeping up on ,making sure this is filled.

does anyone know why my clutch is shaking so much, are the tires to big? i have no problem off roading or going to the sand dunes. 4x4 and 4x4 low both work very well. is the seal just mad, or do i need to get a new cluth soon, i have noticed it is kind of hard to put it into gear, but its also a lifted truck.

am i going to need to replace the clutch soon, or the tranny? the clutch is the stock origionall one and the trcuk has 130k miles, but i also know how to drive a stick, so im not just slamming it into gear.
 
Well, if your front tranny seal is leaking anitfreeze, you have HUUUUGGGEE problems... Your tranny SHOULD NOT have antifreeze in it. It takes automatic tranny fluid (ATF). Yes, I know you have a manual, but it still takes ATF.

If you actually are seeing antifreeze, it is not coming from the tranny. Trannies are not liquid cooled (in the sense of antifreeze).

The shifter will shake alittle in gear, it is just due to vibrations in the drivetrain.

And unless your truck has most all freeway miles, I would think your clutch is getting towards the end of it's life.

Other than that, your post was honestly to confusing to understand much else... Sorry.
