Sounds like either the clutch slave or clutch master cylinder is on its way out. Pop the hood and check for leaks around the seals of the cylinders.

If you don't know where to check & not to keen on searching I'd suggest taking it to a shop. There's quite a few capable shops in your area

I'm pretty convinced it's the clutch cuz there was alot of vibration in the pedal. And now it like hard to get it into 2nd and third when I shift. It makes a thunk. So I need a new clutch. I'm thinking oem, excedy stage 1 or the act street.. Idk

That could still be the slave cylinder, doesn't necessarily mean it's your clutch. FYI, I've yet to meet anyone that's been satisfied with the Exedy S1

Why are you immediately jumping to the problem being the clutch? Start small and work your way up. BTW a clutch pedal getting softer has nothing to do with the clutch itself. It sounds like the car needs to get checked out by a shop who knows what theyre doing if you dont know what youre doing.

Whats confusing me is that it's like grindy when I put it into second gear. So that's why I think it's the clutch

I highly suggest searching to find the location of the master slave cylinder. Then check it for any leaks and check the fluid level. If the fluid level drops too low, your pedal will literally get stuck on the floor one day and not come up. The master slave cylinder itself could also be going bad. These symptoms you describe are for pointing at one of the issues I just said and not that your clucth is going bad.
