MAJOR car problem!! Please Help

hey guys,
I have a big problem here. Yesterday afternoon my car was running 100% perfect, and all of sudden it started to jerk me forward. For example if i stop at a red light or stop sign, and then accelerate to go, i get whipped forward. It seems as if im in a 5 speed car and i don't shift properly. But i never worried too much about that. I just went outside now to get to my dentist appointment and as i was reversing out my driveway the car just starts jumping constantly. The RPM meter is jumping from 1000 to 0 over and over. I don't know what has happend. Please help guys. Thanks

If it jumps from 0-1000, ther shouldnt be too much jerk, since idle is near 1k anyway. And if rpms are anywhere around or below 400, the car will shake and then stall.
