Default Thumping noises with shifter and front dash shaking 🫩

Hello!

I’m new here, but I’ve been using these threads/ tips since last year September, when I decided to buy a ‘00 C5 manual. ( I really wanna say I regret it, but I don’t deep down lol ) it has 78k miles, and the previous owner had placed a stage 2 clutch in it. This car was my first in learning to drive manual😬, but never the less I figured it out ( less then a month🙌🏽 ) recently I was doing some pulls and on one of them I messed up. I had my foot half way engaged on the clutch and tried to shift from 1st to 2nd (around 5k-6k rpm) I realized I couldn’t because I hadn’t engaged the clutch all the way down and upon me realizing that I was still pressing the gas (ik stupid) while I was pressing the gas I finally engaged the clutch threw it in second but by then I had redlined it already (cause my foot was still pressed on the gas 🤦🏽‍♂️) and the whole rear end had shaken like it lost gripped but gain traction a split second later when I had panicked and threw it in 3rd to prevent engine damage from redlining it in 2nd. So now whenever I reverse or put it in first and wait for the clutch to “bite” the whole cars makes a weird thumping sound with some minor shaking internally, and when I shift it shakes a little and when I’m down shifting. It only makes a sound when I engage the clutch. Only then. When I throw it in neutral or driving without pressing the clutch it’s perfectly fine. I’m hoping it’s a very burned clutch/disk. I’ll add a video of bit making the noise during the “bite” in reverse. Thank you !
