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?
