the past couple of days when on the highway my car has been shaking when I floor it. It feels like its slipping or loosing power and the rpm needle just hops up and down.. Is this a sign of new clutch??

Start by doing the free things first...

Check all your vaccum lines and make sure you don't have a leak there.

Check your spark plugs and see what's the gap on them and the coloring. Other than that it sounds more like a boost/vacuum leak.
