Clutch pedal has a wobble feel to it when the pedal is depressed. What could cause it

Aight so as title says, the clutch pedal is making a loud squealing and a wobble vibration feel when i go to shift. It mostly happens if i do a couple high rpm shifts and then let it coast in neutral. When i go to push the clutch in again it will make the noise. Am i hearing and feeling my throw out bearing wobble around the input? Is my clutch fork potentially not evenly pushing on the throw out? Could it be my pilot? I changed the clutch about 15k miles ago but it started doing the fairly recently. Within the last 5k or so.

The pedal is making the sound or the clutch itself? The clutch pedal welds may have broken... it's a pretty common issue, there is a TSB for it.

I think it is the clutch itself. I feel the vibration through the pedal. I dont see my spot welds cracked anywhere as that was the first thing i checked. Unless my master is going bad and the pedal is pushing the plunger at an angle or something. I can't replicate it in neutral it only does it after a high rpm shift so its hard to try and make it happen where i can see

Bump. https://youtu.be/RrhdoFMVZDw this is the noise the car is making and the feedback through the pedal is all over the place
