Delay in shifting when excelerating

04 tahoe Z-71 5.3L Z-motor auto transmission approx. 79,000 miles. It started with diagnostics showing fuel pump faulty (replaced worked fine for a month) then check engine light came on again this time showed 2 of the O-2 sensors bad both replaced and ran fine when mechanic performed drive test. When I left and was driving back home the hesitation isn't as bad but can tell now sinces it's not sputtering and no response when excelerater pressed that the transmission has a delay shifting gears. fluid levels verified all show good. Approx. 5,000 miles ago had injectors cleaned and transmission fluids and filter changed. The mechanic (pep boys) seem to think it may be a "shift sensor" (unable to find such a sensor in any manual or on-line) could it be called something else or could it be something else all together?

    what do you mean has a delay in shifting? how long of a delay? is it slipping slowly into gear, or just not shifting for a few seconds then going in normally

It could be low transmission fluid, a plugged transmission filter, or defective torque converter. I would start with the fluid, then the filter. If these do not solve the problem, I would recommend a reputable transmission mechanic to assess the issue.

If my throttle potion sensor is bad on my 2007 chevy tahoe over time can that cause my transmission to go?

I doubt it.
The sensor could make the transmission not know when to shift, but not much else.
