Default Help! My car drives like crap

Hi guys, first off I am no car expert so I just want to get that out there. My car has been driving like crap lately and I dont know why maybe someone can help me out?

1996 mustang gt 4.6L manual
First of all, my car drives absolutely fine after sitting the night in the garage or over the weekend. Almost every morning though, after driving it for 5-10minutes when it gets warm it just feels like my car is crap. I cant really accelerate fast through the gears with full throttle and when I go from a red light my tires tend to spin a lot like the clutch isn't catching it?? My rpms go from 2000 rpms then just drops to 1000 rpms and jerks my car terribly so bad to the point where my girlfriend always telling me she hates my car lol. It will only do this after I have drove it for a while like I said, other than that its fine. I have done all maintenance new plugs, wires, tires, etc. So I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas on whats going on?? Thanks
