Mercedes Benz S420 Gas Problem

My car seems to be back firing and it is down on power. The car starts up fine. Ive had it 2 and a half yrs and used mainly reg gas. it is also sticking in 1st and 2nd gear 40 mph and 60 mph especially going up hill.
could this be a cat problem or hopefully some thing else?
