had the head recently done and since the car has been back on the road as you change gear from 2nd to third it drops in revs and struggles to regain speed,
once you change to fourth it takes forever to get up to speed.
As soon as you come to a hill it just drops off all power and you have your foot flat to the floor and only doing about 20ks up the hill.
Im just wondering what could be the main problem that is causeing this to happen
could it be something to do with timing or what pls help

I would start with having the valve timing re checked, start here.
