Body Vibration & Intermittently Soft Clutch

Hi folks,

It's been a while since I posted here, but I recently got a new project that has a few stumpers. It's an 82' 240D manual that sat for a long time (in a garage, gratefully) so I am getting back on the road.

#1: After replacing the transmission mount and motor mounts, it still has a harshness in the cabin that isn't normal. It's RPM specific, and does not change by speed. In other words, it's the same when driving or revving in nuetral while parked. It doesn't move the whole car, but rather is a very harsh vibration. From outside the car, the engine moves a little but looks and sounds normal. I have also changed all the fluids and filters, as well as did a valve adjustment.

#2: The clutch is intermittently soft. Most of the time it's ok, but sometimes it won't go in gear and I have to pump the pedal a few times to be able to shift. Otherwise, no grinding, no fluid loss, clutch slave and master are both dry. I have tried to bleed it a few times, but it's possible there's trapped air I'm not getting?

Thanks in advance for your help! It's a nice car, and I'm excited to get it back on the road where it deserves to be.
