Possiable tranny problem?

About two days ago I noticed something when I shift while accelerating fast. I would shift around 7,500 and it happened in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I would get about a 1sec delay before the gear engauges. I would have like no power for that 1sec and then the normal power would kick in. I know I did a shitty job describing this but I have know idea what in the hell it could be.....PLEASE HELP..

THANKS

Is this a 4 spd auto? You probably hit the fuel cut off.

You're using lower octane gas, right ?

I tried a few tank of 87 octane, and having the EXACT same thing that you're having.

just finished 1/2 tank of my last 87, tomorrow gonna put 93 back to top it off.
