Sounds like you are having a clutch problem. The sudden looseness in the clutch pedal indicates a problem with either the hydralic system, (slave or master or line) leaking or clutch pressure plate going out. Check your clutch fluid resevoir first, if low look for a leak under the vehicle, have a friend push the clutch and get underneath to find leak.
Transmission is likely reacting to poor engine performance. Check cap, rotor & wires...Check fuel filter (if they haven't been changed in a really long time, don't even look...just change them). If you find nothing unusual, check codes (if any) I think you most likely have an ignition problem at this point but you have to do some "hands on" checking to determine what's going on... Good luck
sounds as if you may be looking in the wrong spot. If different gearing is drastically changing the symptoms you may want to check the trans. or torque converter. sudden pop with engine rpm increase and lack of power sounds like possible band breakage in transmission or impellor breakage in torque converter.
Yes the computer uses TPS (throttle position sensor) and VSS (vehicle speed sensor) sensors information as well as fluid temp and other factors to determine shift points based on the info stored in the PROM (memory) IC chip, if it is not shifting then you either have a poor connection at the trans case electrical connector or a sticking shift solenoid inside the trans, I would pull the trans connector off and make sure it is clean and properly installed, look for a broken connector retainer as well, this is very common and can cause a loss of signal from the PCM (power train control module) module to the transmission shift solenoids. Most likely the 3rd gear shift solenoid is sticking off from sitting so long, had this happen on my truck, cleared itself.
