Help - Car pops out of gear Options

[Stu37363]

I have a very limited knowledge of transmissions and was hoping someone here might be able to diagnose my problem or tell me what to check.

Lately when accelerating in 4th gear, the shifter will pop into neutral.
3rd gear has always pushed itself towards neutral while accelerating, but never actually went into neutral.

In 3rd or 4th gear i can hold pressure on the shift knob and feel it pull towards neutral when accelerating, then if i release the throttle, it goes back fully into gear.

Recent car changes:
Teaching daughter to drive a manual. there have been some rough clutch engagements lately.
I recently bottomed out on a speed hump
my front motor mount insert has deteriorated (haven't checked the rear mount, i had installed kirkasaurus mounts years ago)

Im hoping maybe i just need to adjust the slack on a cable somewhere.

Any thoughts?

Yeah that'd be best, would suck to ruin the synchro due to a mount. Somewhat related, but if you haven't changed out the shifter base bushings that's another small possibility. If you haven't you owe it to yourself since they're only like $20 or so for a set of solid bushings off eBay, and they improve the shifter feel significantly. They come in short throw shifter kits too, but if you don't want a shorter throw and height people have started selling the bushings separately.
