Evo 8 acceleration lock, vibrates badly

Wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem. Usually this problem occurs in 5th gear but recently sometimes in 4th and 3rd. i will be driving with little pressure on the accelerator and then the car clicks and vibrates badly, when i add more pressure to the accelerator the vibration gets worse and the car does not increase speed but turbo spools up. when i let go of the accelerator it goes away and then i have power again, then it might click again and then i have to let go and re-apply pressure. This gets annoying and feels like a tranny/t-case or gearbox problem. I have a comp. clutch stage 4 and sheptrans stage 1. HELP!

Sounds like a clutch problem. Can you post a video?
