Thanks for the reply. So what could contaminate the clutch with oil in this case? And It looks like I'll be needing a clutch kit anyhow. Any words for the clicking and fluctuating oil gauge?

hey guys, i have a 95 GM C1500 4.3L 2wd Manual 110k miles i just bought. On a cold start at idle, the oil gauge fluctuates somewhat in the middle while what sounds like a relay clicks under the dash some where simultaneously until warmed up. i havent driven the truck much, im still learning to drive stick shift, but a SHIFT light turns on intermittently. When i press the clutch in, i can hear a squeak when outside, sometimes a loud clunk. it also vibrates violently when letting go of the clutch when shifting to reverse or 1st gear. Bad mount? As well as ANTI LOCK light is on, but i believe its because the seat buckle is disconnected. Lastly, the dash gauges probably need re-calibration. any good write ups? None of the gauges line up in the middle and the speed feels 5-10 mph lower than what the speedometer reads. The temp gauge always showed cold, probably because it didnt have a thermostat.
