Default Throttle feels like my car weighs 7,000lbs!

Ok, lately I've noticed that when I give some throttle, it feels like my car weighs a ton more than it really does. The performance is there, no hesitating movement that you would get with bad MAF sensor and it doesnt happen all the time. Its not a pedal thing either.

Actually what I'm trying to say is that I can feel the weight of the car in my foot. Any ideas what it could be. I'm aiming at a transmission issue. Might I add that my tranny line was cut and it slowly leaks out fluid frequently and I have to keep topping it off. (I'll be fixing that problem later today) could this issue I'm having be due to loss of pressure through where it was cut? My line was cut on the metal part, the rubber hose at the return is still covering it and is clamped behind the cut, but fluid seeps through there, so I would thing much pressure is being loss, if theres any pressure at all...

thanks for any help.
