Why would my 1997 pathfinders transmission be slipping into third gear?

If by slipping into 3rd gear you mean that it is hesitating to go into third gear you may have an accumulator piston seal broken or a clutch that is getting severely worn out. If you mean that it slips while it is in third gear you need to have the transmission pressure tested to make sure you have the proper fluid pressures in all gears. This should be done by a qualified mechanic on the proper lift as the wheels need to be off of the ground and someone needs to be inside the car accelerating while the pressure gauge is being read. The proper pressure gauge should be a 0-500 psi gauge and you should read at least 120 psi in all gears except reverse which should be 300 psi. If there is any fluctuation in pressure there most likely is a leaking seal inside of the transmission which will require a tear down.

What would cause power surge in a 91 ford escort?
A power surge under a load is probably the transmission slipping. If its a manual transmission the pressure plate is slipping on the disc. If it is an automatic most likely it is a worn clutch pack slipping. If it surges at idle with the tranny in park the surge is usually a defective IAC (Idle Air Control) valve.
