Subject:1990 auto trans woes.suggestions from the pros?

I have a 1990 van that is a real good runner.  I fear the transmission might
be getting tired.  As I turn a corner going maybe mph and give it gas, it
seems to slip and then grab.i will see the rpms jump a little and then
settle back down............

I have changed trans filter and fluid and same result exists.

Any adjustments known that can fix this?
