rough transmission shift

My 1999 F150 has 118000 miles. Lately the transmission has been shifting rough. It is more pronounced as it goes into overdrive. Could this be caused by a solenoid switch. I am going to change fluid and was wondering if I should also change the solenoids at the same time?

Thanks for any help.

What does the fluid look like? Is it dark/burnt? Is the fluid level correct?

rough transmission shift

Fluid looks good.. it dosent look burnt or have a burnt smell... also at correct level

If I take off at a fast rate the shift seems to be smoother.....However I generally start off at a slower speed....
