Overdrive

I have a 2000 scab 5.4 liter automatic and whenever i slow down to a stop it seems that the trans stays in a high gear (3rd or overdrive) and gives me a snails pace acceleration out of stop signs and redlights. and the only time that it happens is when its really hot outside. california weather 104 degrees etc.
but the engine temp reads normal. A friend recomended a trans flush. Im thinking that the vescosity of the fluid has depleated from both the heat and the 57000 miles without a flush. help!
