By ' changing trans fluid ' affecting shifting behavior I am assuming you are asking if changing the viscosity of the fluid you are using... based on you saying you are thinking about ' something more viscous' ...
Yes... viscosity makes a difference but I am not going to provide url references... the FSM recommends certain fluids and they have done all sorts of long range ( time wise ) testing on these things...but if you do not trust the FSM then you will not likely trust me saying that....
However, being old, I remember when Chrysler (?) changed their manufacturing tolerances and thus their trans fluid recommendations ' back in the good old days' and people who did not believe their newer and thinner recommendation actually had the trans catch on fire.... LOL
