Sudden Loss of Power at Low Speeds
I was driving home from work yesterday, and when I got off the highway, I noticed that my car was acting very strange when I would accelerate from a stop. (I have a 98.5 A4 2.8 Quattro Automatic.)
It almost feels like I am starting in 2nd gear. The car has VERY little power at low speeds.
Once I reach higher speeds, it acts perfectly fine.
I am very scared that this could be a trasmission problem.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Yes, but I turned it off. It didn't change anything.
I do lose a lot of power with the A/C on. However, this was a completely different feeling. It was like the car was struggling to get to 10 MPH.
