Valve body going to be changed...

Valve body going to be changed...
After draining and refilling with Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF, my 2K auto at 31k was rough under deceleration. as it jerks down****fing. But curiously it only happens downshifting from 3 to 2. I took it to the dealer today, after test driving and further investigation, they offer to change the valve body under warranty.
I was wondering why it happened right after I change the ATF? It was perfectly smooth before. Was it my fault?
I'm clueless but, what is a valve body?
Does is has to with solenoid, TCM, and the so much talked about transmission problem?
After this fix, should I be worried about future break down? Will it occur again after 30k more miles?
P.S. searching with "valve body" didn't help much.

after I change my ATF to redline synthetic....I noticed more sharp response on upshift AND down shift.....I think this is porb why u feel the deceleration since the downshifting is more responsive.

So, should I ask them to change the TCM? Is it a good thing that they are changing the valvebody? Should I be concerned with future problems?
As for the downshift from 3 to 2, it is a "hard" downshift. It feels like you dump the clutch abruptly in manual. But overall the auto feel much smoother.
I assume that all the new SyntheticATF I put in will be replaced by whatever they put in. Should I change back to Synthetic ATF immediately?

if they changed it.....just tell them u just replaced with mobil synthetic ATF and wants the same for ur repair....if not, they should at least take off the ATF charge so u can bring ur own ATF.

I took my Max in for the trans TCB and thought I would have them change me over to synthetic ATF (I provided the ATF). I was told that for a warranty fix they would have to use their own ATF. I will have to pay for a trans flush to get the ATF.
