Clutch Slipping??

I got my clutch replaced three years ago. Ever since last night (I'm not sure if its slipping or if its something else) but when I start in first it seems like I have to rev it higher then normal and release the clutch a lot slower then normal. I don't have any problems accelerating though, the car still has all its power. Also when Im starting in first the car is REALLY jerky sometimes like when you first learn to drive stick and you let the clutch out too fast and the car rocks back and forth. So to you does this sound like the clutch is slipping? It doesnt do this every time that I start in first but its happened probably 6 times in the past 2 days. Is this a sign that my clutch is going and will need to be replaced soon?

Thanks

Not a slipping clutch, maybe motor mounts. Slipping clutch wouldn't be grabby like that.

Could be suspension components too, but to me is sounds like motor mounts. It definitely is not your clutch slipping though.
