At the beginning of my trip I have a road that is a 50 mph speed zone. but when my car shifts gears, the car just goes at 15 mph or less and its annoying because I have to make sure I am up early enough and I have to be at work at 8:00am. It usually takes me about 23 minutes to get there, now it's taking me about an hour to get there. I need help.

Okay, when neighbor unplugged battery cable/ actually shifted, until, stop light, then starting to rev again, too, which shifted till stopped at light. Like, it was 2 different vehicles, one saying>Lets Go. the other saying: I'm staying home! Any Ideas? Friend said, maybe module on transmission needs replaced.

Slightly revs higher at shiftpoint, shortlast. When I "pour the coal to it" from a stop it will go through the gears, but each shiftpoint is affected by a slight climb in rpm. This, however, only lasts for a brief second, but because of this, there is a slight power loss. It wasn't doing this before I recently changed tire size from 225/75/R15 to 31/10.50/15. Would this be part of the problem? Or is the transmission just getting tired. 225000km on the vehicle. Would appreciate an answer back.. Thank you.
