Have you tried to clean the MAF ? It's good functioning is crucial to the box.
Here's the info:

yes can cause problems, as can wiring, air flow, bad connections. just that you mention its seems speed related. vss arent that expensive.

Are you sure the fluid level hasn't dropped maybe as air has been expelled from the system?
You can unplug the MAF and the engine will run on default values.
What were the problems with the gearbox in the first place (before you changed the fluid)?

slipping is a whole other ball game, check band adjustment, though when start slipping usually ready for recon.
