well, the car's supposed to have fluid changes at every 30K, so likely the first 100K or so were dealer maintained, and got the recommended changes, but after that, not so much, likely it's had over 200K on it since fluid was take care of.
your transmission is acting oddly to be sure, my guess is the pump or a shaft bit the dust on one of those CHIRPS... fresh fluid can clean residue, and soften or harden seals, and o-rings, causing things to act differently than before. also, it's possible that you knocked off the vacuum line, and caused hard shifts.
I'd swap tranny's and hope for the best on it.
