Have your mechanic clean the oil pump pick-up screen in addition to the pan. Also, now would be a good time to change the engine oil filter, if it has one.

JW,
Thanks for the advice, that work has been completed and the car is smoother than ever (and I thought it was pretty good before!) The mechanic said that the transmission pan had about a half inch of sludge in the bottom.

Rich, ATF change is probably the most overlooked service...even on new cars. I change mine every 2-3 years, and in your case, consider cleaning the valve body...it's relatively easy to get to, and b/c of it's narrow passages it fills with crud and can really affect trans performance, esp.if the pan had a 'crust' at the bottom.
