Hey what's up guys, so im worried about something that is somewhat serious. Ok, this is the deal, my throw out bearing has been messed up for a while, so whenever i change gears it vibrates and whatnot, its progressively been getting worse but i planned on fixing soon. but now, there's something new, whenever i change it into a gear a little too high for it, it struggles to catch it, like if im cruising and i go 1,2,4 it will start to shake like if the torque converter on an auto is messed up, like my car judders, and then once its in a little higher rpms its fine. I have no clue what it could be. Any ideas?

Update - its been getting worse, and now whenever it starts judderig bad, the check engine light flickers on and off.

What rpm is the engine at once you shift into the higher gear? You may just be bogging down

Well ive been having to increment it slowly because its been getting worse. Now i can't even use 5th because it starts juddering bad.

Sounds like you need a tune up.
