If you can put it into all the gears without grinding and without putting the clutch in while the car is running it is for sure a clutch thats not grabbing.

check and see if one of the axles popped slightly out of the transmission housing. SO something after the gears is messed up either one of the axles isnt connected or your differential is junk.

check your axles, more likely than not one has popped out of the differential.

Have a similar problem, my differential hasnt fully @!#$ the bed yet but close. I can still drive the car, just pops and jerks inthe direction the car is going.

I had the same problem 5-6 years ago, car wouldnt move at all, ended up being the spider gears in the diff were stripped, there was no prior warning of anything being wrong.
