Could be dodgy gear linkages if 3rd/4th are difficult to select.  I had this on my car (liked to jump into 3rd rather than 5th)

thats my 2p :)

they dont jump just feel so hard to get in like you have to fight a little to get them in

4things . either linkage is worn
             selector is worn
             clutch is almost f**ked being a diesel common as much
             gears in the box are f**ked- very unlikely

Jeez if your clutch pedal is vibrating then there is a chance your clutch is on it's way out.
Something I fear of alot due to the cost :(
