This sounds to me like dying clutches, the death-knell of these transmissions practically speaking.
You can get a rebuilt unit from Ericksson (sp?) for about $1800 last time I checked, but I question whether it's worth investing that in this particular car. Replacement cost for the whole car is probably less than that, and you might prefer to consider looking for a good newer model for about the same dough.
Eventually, if this transmission follows the common route, you'll lose all forward gears. You can probably drive it thereafter in reverse for about a million more miles.
New fluid might help but probably not, and probably not for long. I'd start looking for a replacement car now, or start arranging for the transmission swap if that's your preferred route.
