Ok. For about 3 weeks fourth gear has been popping out of gear when I let OFF my gas pedal. It only does it when I let off. Now, in all gears but first I can floor the gas pedal, hear the engine rev up, watch my rpm gauge go up, but the car doesn't go anywhere it stays at the same speed. Now, the only way I can get the car to accelerate faster is by slowly feeding it gas. There is also a slight vibration in first when pulling out. Not terribly noticeable. Any ideas? Clutch maybe? I'm thinking thats it. Well at least hoping thats it. Any ideas/thoughts are greatly appreciated.
 
It sounds to me like its definetally your clutch slipping. Can you sometimes smell that clutch smell when your trying to accelerate?

However I dont know about the popping out of gears problem
 
Thanks all! I figured thats what it was but I thought maybe adjusting the clutch pedal or something might work... Ohhhh well..... Thanks again!
