the truck is shakeing at idle,if i press the clutch in it will stop shakeing a little bit,its hard to get in reverse and hard to shift.im thinking the slave cylinder or the clutch is going out.does anyone have any idea what could be the problem

Sounds to me more like a bad flywheel. The factory flywheel is in 2 pieces and when it wears out and comes apart it starts shaking bad. I would get another opinion or two but that is my thought

Need more data, what year? Trans? etc.

If it is a pre-dmf (two piece flywheel), it could be the firewall is cracked, not letting the clutch release properly as well.

sounds like a bad pilot bearing. have done a couple with similar symptoms. pilot bearing either seizes and keeps input shaft turning, or explodes and drags parts around the shaft and keeps it turning.
