If transmission is good, then based on your symptoms, sounds fuel starved when under load to me, but only you can ascertain or rule that out, via particular tests.
That did seem to be your first inkling. If you replaced that line, it's possible some clog got in there, or some debris.

"Acceleration Problems – Another good sign that draws optimum attention to check whether your car’s fuel filter is clogged with dirt or functioning properly. This frequently occurs when your car starts behaving funny or oddly, and suffers from a slowdown syndrome when driven at certain speeds due to lack of sufficient fuel, required for it to go any faster. Even with the fact that you might be stepping hard on the gas, the vehicle fails to bulge and the speed remains the same."
