Why does my car momentarily lose power after shifting gears?

At that very moment there is no power supply from engine to your wheel. That’s when you feel your car has lost the power.
What does it mean when your transmission slips out of gear?

Why is my transmission not shifting to higher gears?
Other possibilities could be an engine related problem that will cause the computer to not allow the transmission to shift into higher gears. This condition can also be caused by low transmission fluid, contamination due to lack of maintenance or water intrusion, or internal wear and tear on the transmission parts inside the transmission.
When do you shift to a higher gear?
For a reasonable idea of when to shift higher, accelerate steadily with your throttle. When the vehicle’s response or acceleration starts to become flat and the engine sound becomes high, shift up. This is generally around 5500 rpm for motorcycles and 3000 rpm for cars.
What to do when your bike gears won’t shift?
But, if up shifting is still problematic, you should work on the barrel adjuster to turn it anticlockwise. This will increase the tension and solve the problem. If the bike is over-shifting, you will need to tone it down by turning the barrel clockwise (basically, the opposite of what you did to fix the up shifting).
Why does my car not move when I put it in gear?
If when you put your vehicle into gear and it won’t move, this may be a problem with low transmission fluid due to a leak, the shifter, shifter cable, or it could even be a problem in the valve body of your automatic transmission.

What to do when your car loses power after a shift?

There are many reasons why your vehicle may be losing power, especially when accelerating. Some of these common causes are: Mechanical problems such as: Low compression, clogged fuel filter, dirty air filter, clogged Exhaust Manifold. Malfunction of actuators such as: Bad injectors, bad fuel pump, bad spark plugs.
Why does my car not shift into third gear?
Such a problem is automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear. The transmission shifts into the first and then to second gear but does not move into the third gear.

Is it possible for a transmission to not shift?
My Transmission Will Not Shift! The transmission is as necessary in a vehicle as the engine itself. Imagine leaving your car in first gear and trying to maintain speed on the highway, or start from a dead stop in fifth gear. Engines that are put in vehicles today are designed to run safely in a very specific range or speeds, or RPMs.
Can a car shift gears without a downshift solenoid?
Downshift solenoids are an important transmission component, and without them, the vehicle will not be able to shift gears properly, sometimes even to the point of rendering the car undriveable.
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.
