Default rpm wont drop

ive been having this problem for about a month now off and on. when i am driving and step on the clutch when i stop at a light the rpms come down then almost dead stop at 1300rpm the car starts to shake and then takes about 30 seconds to slowly come down to an idle. also when i leave it in gear it will come down lower than 1300 rpm easily but i feel a shake and vibration. i also get the shake and vibration in any gear between 1000 and 1300 rpm even cruising in 6th at 50 mph. any ideas what is goin on

Have you gotten a tune since you've added your mods? A tune fixed mine. You'll get a shake/vibration in any gears other than 1st & 2nd if you go that low in the RPMs. Just down shift. My car would completely die if I tried to go 50 in 6th! I don't go into 6th until AT LEAST 70!

Yup. These cars could use a tune off the showroom floor.
