sounds like your torque converter is going out. If you need to build up revs to get the torque converter to pump enough fluid to pressurize the gears, your converter may be going out. Once you gets enough pressure, that is when you get the "kick" in gears.

Can an object accelarate without friction?

Yes, an object can accelerate without friction. The only thing that is needed to accelerate an object is net force acting on it should not be zero. Then the accleration of body is given by Newton's 2nd Law: F = m*a . For example Rockets in space experience no friction, but they accelerate due to force on them by the exhaust gases.


Why do you consider a moving object to accelerate even when it slows down or chnges direction without changing speeed?

Because that's the definition of "accelerate". "Accelerate" doesn't mean "speed up", although that's how everybody who rides in a car uses the word. "Accelerate" means "change the speed or the direction of motion, or both".
