So I just got off the phone with a transmission shop and before that I talked to my boyfriend about it. Here's what I got out of it:

Boyfriend:
Theoretically, a flush and new filter would do so much as just prolong the tranny going out. But most of the time, if the tranny is slipping the damage is generally already there, and there's not much you can do to fix it.

So then I called the transmission place, pitch all of your ideas and my boyfriends idea to him, and this is what he had to say:

What my boyfriend said could be true, it depends on how the previous owners drove it. [The kid before me was about 20 or so, and let other people drive it, people I know, and people who I know would beat on it.] Also, on you guy's ideas, he recommended checking the fluid. If the fluid is full, the damage is most likely already there. If its low, I should get a flush.

He also said if I take it over there they will test drive it and look at it free of charge so after I check the fluid I will go from there, and if needed I will take it to them after I get the title on my Mazdarati.
