Default random loss of power?

hi everyone i have a 92 gt 5.0 and its got 113k on a factory stock motor and trans. 3.73 in the rear just put in a month ago. i notice sometimes i lose power. like not dramatic but some. my old lx had an issue with the clutch pedal vibrating and the clutch slipped but it was a 3 year old clutch. my pedal doesnt vibrate but i feel a little less pull sometimes. random. usually i am thrown back in my seat 1-2 gear. now 2nd seems to pull a little less. the car deffinatly goes but not like im imagining it usually is. is there a common problem i dont know about? i read somewhere that ford put out a service bulliten for the throwout bearing causing this.

any ideas? thanks

I don't think its the bearing, they'll let you know when they start going. A loss in power could be 100 different things but hard to diagnose thru a forum. Id start by pulling codes to see what the computer is thinking. Pull some plugs, how's the gas mileage been? Plugged cats? Strong head wind? I could go on and on.
