This is exaclty correct. I was having similar problems, however the transaxle was baked by the previous owner when I bought my car 6 years ago. I rebuilt it then, but it started having minor problems to this effect 2 winters ago, only when extremely cold, then all of the sudden this summer it wouldn't move at all, even after 30 min. of perfectly fine driving. Since I'm still under the "150K lifespan" of the trans and didn't have the time or money to repair or replace, I gave it a shot and now it's shifting even better in the winter than summer and right away.
You have nothing to loose by changing the fluid and filter. I don't think you have a vacuum mudulator tho, yours s/b electronicly controlled for pressure.
