I believe I will try to get the 2 filters changed before going any deeper with this.
Thanks very much for everyone's input.

Are you saying that all of these symptoms are new after the accidental downshift? Also, you are saying that it will run fine once warmed up for approximately 15-20 minutes, and then begins losing power? And what do you mean by losing power - you cannot exceed a certain speed - cannot get beyond certain RPM? Finally, how fast were you going when you downshifted?
