Default fluid change?

i just had my tv cable adjusted properly. my tranny downshifts now but i noticed that the rpms dont climb as high as they used to on full throttle. and the car doesnt feel as fast as it was. maybe its me. i checked the fluid after driving it a while and, i had it idling like im supposed to. pull out the dipstick and it read low so i swiped it clean and tried again and it read way over full! the fluid is light red but looks a little with a small hint of brown. i changed the fluid about 12k ago but it may be time again. maybe the trans got a little overheated from a bad tv or, maybe its just bad gas? etc etc help?
