When I take my foot off the gas or when I accelerate my car seems to be sluggish. It is almost as if something is dragging or slowing the car down. After I accelerate and pick up speed it stops and runs fine. I was told maybe it is due to low transmission fluid but it's a manual transmission and I don't think fluid is the problem.
