I changed my fluid and did it ever make a difference..I think there was a thread just a week or so ago about how and what kind of fluid I believe it was Redline D-4 ATF.

I changed my trans lube to RP Synchomax last summer at 71K. Made a big improvement in shifting. You might start there and then try adjusting the shifter. Lots of good threads here on how to do that.
