Default Not so good vibration

Just purchsed a 2000 C5 vert with 20,000mi it seems that when I go to shift there is a strange vibration in the clutch. This only occurs when I'm driving, (not at idol), and notice it more the higher the R's. Just thought I would throw this out here and see if anyone else has had this problem or has a fix. Thanks and Great forum!

Take a look at your clutch fluid in the resevoir. If it's dark and murky...change it. Forum member Ranger has an excellent write-up about this...
