If it started after you changed the clutch then I would say look at the throw out bearing.

He's right listen close and you will hear it from the tranny and push clutch in and it will quit.. It will get worst when I don't know but when it starts getting worst it will vibrate/jump real bad when you take off letting clutch out.

----------

You did rebuild the whole tranny when you had it out?
