Default Bad bucking/idle problem

So while driving to work today i tried go while in 1st gear and the car bucked while the rpms shot way up. The car then dropped to low RPMs (100-300) and almost stalled. This also happened in 2nd gear. 3-4-5 was fine. What do you guys think it is?

Clutch? MAF? Whole tranny?

Its at the shop right now but im just wondering what you guys think.
