Default weird loss of power

So I was doing some light 4 wheeling and I got stuck for like 5 minutes in the mud, after doing some maneuvers I got out but I noticed I had lost power. Now, when I say weird is because I hear the engine working fine, the tachometer looks fine, but it feels like if the transmission is stuck in the 3rd gear or something because you can feel that only when it starts moving but once you have reached lets say 20 mph it runs ok

I do not know much about jeeps so I was hoping someone could give some advice

BTW its a 1991 cherokee laredo

Thanks

Did you try starting from a stop with the shifter in low and manually shifting up ?
