Part of it is a heat issue. The vibration/grinding is definitely due to a worn pilot bushing or the pilot shaft pressing against the crank. The hard-to-shift issue may be exacerbated by that as well but I believe heat in the clutch fluid is a primary factor in the clutch fading and not releasing quickly when the pedal is pushed.
