i have a 2000 chevy cavalier 2.2L 3speed automatic tranny

i changed my tranny fluid n filter at 68,000 miles. shortly after this i noticed when i make sharp turns while accelerating my engine will rev for a moment then engage back to normal. the car now has 69,600 and i checked the fluid level and it seems to be in the cross pattern section of the dipstick. now when i was changing the filter, i did have trouble installing the filter but i managed to get it back on. is it possible for the filter to have fallen off or not be on all the way and cause my tranny to do this?
thanks matt
