Default Hesitating?

Only started the last few days. Recently replaced alot of things regarding the transmission. When I accelerate all the time now the car is hesitating and sounds like its backfiring but with a quieter tone but its chugging almost. Not sure what it is. Could it be low oil? Spark plugs? I'm no mechanic.

i would change the spark plugs first that might do it, if not then change the wires too. but sounds like the plugs to me how many miles are on them.

I'm not sure bought the car back in October. Put around 4k on it since then. I was planning on changing the spark plugs, seafoaming the engine, changing the oil, and a couple other things this week. Hopefully its just the plugs or something simple +++ thanks for the help.
