Unfortunately you are probably correct that changing the fluid at this point will not correct it but it is a sign as to what is happening. At this point you have a clutch issue caused by a solenoid issue in the valve body.
We should check for codes as I suspect you have some that will point to a specific solenoid.

What I suspect is the fluid deteriorated and the clutches started slipping. Then that burned the fluid and made it worse. Then eventually the solenoid gave out. There is a chance that it went the other way which is the solenoid failed and you lose the specific gear.
However, that is normally accompanied by a check engine light.
