Transmission fluid does need changing, been one of those thing I decided to leave alone until it showed signs of needing doing, since I've heard of so many stories of others changing the fluid and then having issues afterwards. but would have thought that would just cause jolty gear changes.

I'll try unplugging the maf at some point and see if that helps, whats the early signs of a faulty maf? As power along the rev range is fine on the 75, doesn't show lack of power below 2k, the power's just not instant as the gearbox decides to take a second to think about what gear it wants to be in.
in my experience of owning autos (my last 8 cars) it startes with a slightly lumpy change and then it starts hanging onto gears longer and hesitates on downshifting

so pretty much what you are experiencing Phil-T4 is the man as always

most issues are with people using the wrong ATF fluid trying to do it on the cheap
