Possible Tranny Issue????

Lately when it's been really cold, my transmission seems to slip a little bit when accelerating from a complete stop. Its only done it a couple times, but this morning seemed to be kinda bad. Its an automatic, by the way. I was accelerating, and all it did was rev for about half a sec to a second but roll back like it was still in neutral, and then finally it changed gears. It was about 30 degrees outside.

It's only done something like this twice, but I worry when stuff like this happens.

Now for my question:

I just acquired the car not long ago from my Father. It just hit 121,000 miles, and its still past due for its 113,000 service AND its 120,000 service. Do you guys think that changing the transmission fluid would fix the problem or possibly help, being as it probably hasn't been done?

I just had transmission work done on it (it got stuck in park so I had to pay a TON to get it towed to the MB dealer and get the parts installed) so I would rather not have to shell out another buttload of money right now.

Thanks for the help.
