Default Tranny slip?

so lately my tranny has been acting up, basically only on down shifts...

when i go WOT sometimes itll be like 2 secs maybe 3 secs before it kicks down,( kinda feels like im slowly rolling into it, even tho im at WOT)
and even when it does it doesnt kick down hard. it just down shifts and slowwwwlly accels.

The other part of the time, ill go WOT and it downshifts hard and feels like i breaking the tires loose, but im not, then it finally will accel hard... then maybe once a day itll down shift and accel hard like it used to

any ideas of what its doing or why its acting up?

well i un did the battery for a little over an hour tonight, and it seemed to have helped some( tho it could be all in my head)..acted up once or twice but not as often as it was. but one thing i didnt understand is i figured with the battery being off for an hr that the clock/presets/trip/MPG would all be reset. but they were all still there when i hookd it back up
