transmission valve body replacement?

On reviewing the board, I guess the hard shift (with 2 second delay) that I get when going into drive is due to a weak design on my 2002 9-5 Aero transmission, which would be corrected by replacing the valve body. I had the software flashed and updated about 4-5 yrs ago. I'm a shade tree mechanic who has done most everything EXCEPT trans work, and wonder if anyone has ever attempted this valve body replacement at home. I dont even know what a valve body is.
If not, at a shop, I read on the board that this is a multi thousand dollar job, where reportedly $300 is parts?
I have 120k miles on the car and have always had clean fluid, now I wonder if I can expect it to get worse over time, or maybe I get used to the clunk happening 50% of the time and live with it.
Can flushing (rather than drain and fill) clear this valve?
cheers,
