Just beware that shifting too "smooth" may not be a good thing on an automatic as the clutch pack will slip more to do that, which leads to more wear and heat generation. While I agreed in changing fluid, I just don't like using "generic" replacement fluid. This is one area I don't mind paying a little bit extra for the OE fluid.

If you decides to do this, make sure you use the OE filter and fluid. Don't let anyone tell you that a generic filter is just as good...it's NOT. I got all sorts of shifting issue using a generic filter, which was ultimately been corrected with just replacing it with the OE filter. BTW...mine is also a 3.0i.
