Why does my transmission shift slow?
Shifting delays are often caused by many things but most commonly due to poor maintenance or high mileage. Transmission fluid, in addition to acting as a coolant, keeps internal seals lubricated to help prevent hardening or wearing out. The first thing to do when you notice a delay is to check your transmission fluid.
When does your car lose power when you change gears?
When I’m driving, and the car changes from 1st to 2nd gear and with my foot on the accelerator, the engine sputters and the car loses power and then slowly catches up. It also does this when going from 2nd to 3rd. But its not there (or at least noticeable) when going from 3rd to 4th gear. No check engine light warning either.

Why is my car losing power at low speeds?
If the pressure is low the fuel injectors will not be able to spray the correct amount of fuel into the combustion chamber and that will result in a loss of power. A faulty fuel pump will not pose problems at low speeds but when you are looking for quick acceleration you might be left wanting.
