Transmission fluid change

Hi, as I don't when the prev. owner had the tranny fluid changed on the car I am considering a fluid change. Have read before that an autom tranny acted up after a change - wondering why this is happening. An explanation would be great.

What's described above is more than a stuck kickdown valve. It shouldn't slip into neutral, it shouldn't need to rev to 3k before kicking into first. Bowden is absolutely irrelevant, you could disconnect it if you want. A total shot in the dark is a failed front pump, but if that's not it, you're looking at a tranny rebuild. This didn't happen shortly after a fluid & filter change, did it?
