    Sounds more like a plugged fuel filter to me.

    Or the car is overheating???

    ADDED:

    Or the front brakes are dragging?

    do a complete system flush to the trans which is the way to go these days but where was the smoke coming from under the hood u never said for sure it could be an adjustment to the sensor for speed u really need to hook up the computer to find the direction u should take before guessing where it might be the problem good luck

    yry changing the tranny oil and filter. the filter could be clogging up and slowing the car down from shifting.
