Different problems = different solutions.

The shifters themselves are slipping. It causes the derailleur to move and makes the front rub the chain, and the back to actually shift into a different gear. It causes me to just push the levers all the way up and then Im cross chained. I checked and I have the washers. Maybe I'll try to clean it all out and see if I can somehow find some more friction. Or perhaps put in new washers? Here is a picture of my levers to give you a better idea.
