Question 5VZ-FE auto tranny question

My tranny stated to slip here recently (at least that's what I think it is) its starts to pull then stops and keeps doing that till I reach my speed. That pushing between 2800-4500 RPM just depends on something and I dont know what that is. lol
At the same time my tranny started to shift hard is that good or bad? Im thinking bad because it went from smooth shifting to hard shifting...

I would also like to know how many quarts of oil my tranny holds. and on the tanny dip stick is it suppose to be hot or cold?

and I also keep hearing that if your tranny is fine dont change the filter, that is could mess the tranny up in some way or ways? Is that true?

Sorry I know that's a lot just really need to know what to do while I have some money.

Thanks for the

nice, they last a while. torque converter maybe?

I see you want to get 350 hp out of your motor. How do you plan on getting it that high? I know the super will get it to 265. I imagine with headers, exhaust and intake you could hit maybe 300. I would love to have more power but I do not want a super charger.

As far a I know it has always been up to date. I do oil and stuff every 3000-3500 miles. Im not sure about the filter though.
