Clutch or Transmisson?

Ive been noticing more and more of late, that its hard to get into the gears of my g. I can engage the clutch all the way to the floor hoping to put it in gear and it feels like im locked out of all the gears and have to almost force it. Makes driving in traffic a nightmare
I also have the dreaded flywheel chatter at low rpms and take offs and occasionally when i take off from a stop, theres a loud chatter and jerkyness from the seemingly the rear. So before I pay someone a ridiculous amount of money to tell me whats wrong.. can someone help a guy out?

Can your car move on flat ground in gear with the clutch pushed in?

As in what? Pushing the car manually with my foot with the clutch pushed in? Once I start moving it's easy to shift

When the car is in first and the clutch is pressed to the floor, does the car move? If so - Clutch.

Else?

Check fluids. When's the last time you did the diff stuff?

I'm not sure when the differentials were checked last. I've only put about 4000 miles on the car since I've owned it. Sometimes it feels like it wants to lunge from a stop
