Dies when Clutch is engaged, Shakes violently when shifting.
I have a 1987 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer 4x4 with the 4.0L and a 5 speed transmission. Yesterday I was driving it home from the gas station and got a block or so away and went to stop and notice it was idling high and was increasing. I got it to another gas station and stopped and noticed that it was dripping a little bit of oil, not much (but hasn't dripped since I owned it). I got it home and started it back up and all seemed normal. I went to engage the clutch and it started to sputter and misfire then die. I finally got it to let me shift and when I started going each gear made the whole Jeep shake violently. It was also very hard to shift. I actually had to put a lot of force into shifting it to get it back into my driveway.
* What else I did earlier that day was drove it over some hills but nothing strenuous or hard on it. It shifted fine and ran fine after doing all that. It only happened after I left the gas station.
What is it? Clutch bad? Slave Cylinder? Need to know
Please help! I really need this Jeep to run so I can get back and forth to School and Work.

*UPDATE*: Now when I try and start it with the clutch engage it make a horrible grinding noise. It wont even start in neutral. I don't know what's wrong with it but I need to know soon or it's going to the scrapyard.

*UPDATE 2*: I found the cause of the grinding when the clutch is engaged while trying to start. A bolt came loose and fell out from the motor and trans bell housing.
So now I am back to it shaking in every gear (checked motor mounts and trans mount they are good) and the Jeep dying or misfiring when the clutch is engaged.
A friend of my dads said that on the transmission there may be a box that may be broken or have a loose wire causing everything. Would love to know....
***Now my Jeep won't start at all. Like it's not getting a spark. It has half a tank of gas.
Really need help!
