How about the rust? I would go ahead and replace 'em anyway if you don't

No rust seeping that I saw, it appeared very dry. I am getting some
vibration thru the steering wheel and shifter. When I depress the
clutch or let off the gas, it stops. It seems to be getting worse. I
thought maybe the u joints, but maybe a slipping clutch? I don't know,
guess I'll have to take it to my mechanic. I really hate doing that!
It has a 5 speed and about 80k miles on it.
