Car feeling underpowered

Up until yesterday, my car felt like it was running the best it ever has. I take my car out yesterday and today and it just feels sluggish as all get out. My KS is bad but i did the bypass and it's been pretty cold lately. I cleaned my throttle body a month or two prior. The way the car has been running the past 2 days is just really worrying me. Plus, i have a feeling my tranny is going. When i roll to a stop but don't completely stop, i give it some gas and it revs to about 2 grand before it starts to move. Doesn't really feel like a slip, but a hesitation. wonder if it could be the torque converter. any one have some ideas on this?

same thing happened to my 98 se... i figured that it was just a reaction to normal wear and tear, but when my transmission exploded in the middle of nowhere it was a pain in the *** to replace my tranny. basically what happened was the gears were just grinding themselves away and the clutch was having a hard time catching them. get it checked out asap if you want to avoid a hassle
