Chances are it is the shift solenoid, vehicle speed sensor, or it does just need serviced.
When was the last trans service done? Also, trans fluid is red and shouldn't have a brown tint to it, so I'm going to say it does need serviced.
Yes, it is worth having checked. The trans in the car is usually very reliable. Chances are it is something simple.
Finally, has the check engine light come on?
