I would expect that if the problem was with the engine or drivetrain, that it might go away when you put the clutch in, but not when you just let up on the gas while leaving it in gear.
edit: Unless of course the engine was missing, but I'm assuming you'd be able to tell that's what was happening.
I don't think it's an RPM issue either to an extent. Going up hill in 3rd gear the vibration will start at the higher RPM's and when I let off the gas the vibration will decrease. However if I engage the clutch the vibration will stop. And the vibration is def coming from the front. I checked the clutch fluid and it was pretty low so I topped it off and it seems to have offered some relief. But I'm losing clutch fluid someplace because I have been topping it off every 4-5 days since. It's doesn't get dry, like it was before, but it's def losing some. There's no miss in the engine either.
