I got this problem while driving my car especially when to disengage clutch at 1st gear, I got this jerking & shaking and the most noticeable thing is my gear change is not smooth as usual. Worst is when I want to change gear at high speed, cannot shift at all!!
So, set time with my foremen. Check and change clutch pump rubber (top one not at the gearbox) which is seen to be leaking. After a few test, still my gear cant be shift. Now the problem even worst!
So, I take my car for full checking which is bring down the gearbox, suspected clutch plate got problem. Meanwhile, I already bought one set of this thing...

This is the problem. Notice? NO? OK how about close up..
one of the supporter of the clutch plate spring broken...
Then, get new clutch bearing and ready to put back in the gearbox..

DONE!
Result :
Up: smooth gear change and good grip.... !
Down : clutch feel abit heavier but still acceptable (even my wife can drive it ;P ) .
Hard shaking and jerking after release the clutch, need to rev abit higher to get it going. Hopefully this problem will fade a little bit as the clutch surface is fully contact with the flywheel..

It sounds like you did the right thing by starting with the clutch pump, but since the issue persisted and even got worse, dropping the gearbox to inspect the clutch plate was definitely the next step. A worn or faulty clutch plate (or even pressure plate issues) can cause the jerking, shaking, and difficulty in shifting—especially at higher speeds. Good move on getting the Exedy Racing Clutch for your B-Series; it’s a reliable upgrade that should give you smoother engagement and better performance once properly installed. Just make sure the installation is done carefully, and all related components (release bearing, pilot bearing, and hydraulics) are checked as well. Also, while maintaining your car’s clutch system is vital, don’t forget about smaller but important parts like timely car key repair to avoid unexpected inconveniences.
