Default pops out of 2nd gear in low revs/issues with reverse

did a brief search and couldnt come up with anything. My car has been giving me issues lately.

The car likes to pop out of 2nd gear....but in low revs(like 2500 rpm). say if go off a light normally and shift into second...go to give it gas and ..VROOOOOOOm put it back in second..gas, nope pops back out. sometimes itll stay. usually i have to go to third. If i go to about 3500+ revs in 1st and shift its fine. if i go WOT to redline and hammer second hard its just fine . wieeeeeeerd.

reverse is also having problems. if i back up and push the clutch in while rolling backwards(and keeping it in gear) the car will basically come to an abrupt stop... i have to start to reverse and then pop it into neutral in order to keep rolling .
sometimes if i pop it into reverse on a hill (where id roll backwards) the car will get stuck in reverse.

my clutch is also started to chatter like mad. im thinking its something up with my clutch....but really maybe the clutch master cylinder?
fluid level is fine though i havent replaced it in a while. pedal pressure is normal. tranny doesnt grind.

could this be causing my issues? or is there something else?

if you need me to re explain things i can.

thanks

Sounds like you have different areas of concern.

Clutch chatter will only be the result of faulty friction parts- bad flywheel, worn/oil soaked disc, or bad pressure plate.

A leaking hydro(master or slave) will cause pedal issue and shifting issues, but once it's in gear, they don't matter.

You could have a severely worn mount(s), could be a worn synchro spring or other sleeve/synchro part or detent spring/ball, etc.
