well im not an expert but it sounds like the hydralic brake booster is sucking power from from the motor possibly due to a malfunction in the booster or a clog in a line i believe the booster requires 12-15hp to operate, an alternator 10hp and all your accserories add up if one requires more your motor will lag down, as for having to be in 4low im guessing because the engine in 4low it has enough low gearing that it doesnt require much hp to move it so the "excess"/unused hp is being put to the booster where it bluids pressure till u use it enough to drain it again, that's what i think but im just a self trained mechanic in college so i may be wrong but it may help start u off

The Neutral Safety switch This is a part found on all cars with automatic transmissions. It prevents the starter from engaging if the transmission is in any gear other than 'Park' or 'Neutral'. It also turns on the back-up lights when the transmission is shifted into "reverse". It can get out of adjustment or fail.
