changing the fluid isnt that hard. you want to drain the torque converter and then aslo remove the pan and drain it at the same time. there is also a filter inside the pan that needs to be changed at the same time.
the little bump you feel when it shifts could be from low fluid levels or wear to the transmission.

luvmy,

Like Brutus said the bands.

And...

If it's a C-4, a lot of our members here are too young to know this.
There was a recall on the C-4's back in the 70's.

They were "falling" into reverse.

I had gotten one of the notices because my Maverick had the C-4.
The linkage adjustment should also be checked.
