Today I was driving my car to get some food after work and i noticed that my engine would vibrate at lower rpms but i dint really think anything bad about it because it been vibrating like that for a while now but today it started to vibrate really bad, so i pulled over and parked the car at parking lot and turned off the car then i started the car and it was vibrating really bad and any time i pressed the clutch this crazy screaming sound would come out from engine bay. So what happened??? I’m going to tow the car back to my house tomorrow after work but i have no idea what happened and what kind of damage should be expecting. Is time for a new motor???
 
That would be a good start, but that doesnt really explain why the vibration would happen at low RPM and not high RPM. Maybe the clutch fork, throw out bearing or the pressure plate is stuck with the clutch in between engaged and disengaged. That would be a good start to look though is the clutch problem.
