Default Problem with car shaking

Okay so today on my way home from school out of nowhere my car just started to shake pretty badly. after driving around here is what i figured out. it is most noticeble between 30mph-65mph. after about 65 it goes away. can't really decipher if it's just road vibration or the problem under 30 mph. my pedals and steering wheel shake side to side and the front end feels the same way. now this only happens when the clutch is engaged. when the clutch is disengaged it goes away. talking with my friends we are guessing that it is either the pressure plate or the flywheel. i've never seen anything like this ever. well now after that long story here are my questions:
1.Does anyone know how or why this is happening and how to fix?
2.Or what do you think the problem is?
Thanks in advance any help is greatly appreciatted

Do you drive the car hard? Is your front end aligned? Are your rims balanced? It might be the rims and tires, if youve done any sort of spring mod or somehitng or swaped rims that arent balanced this would cause the front end to shake, as for the clutch thing, i dunno
