Who changed your tranny fluid? If it was one of those quick lube places.....
They like to have the vehicle driven around for 15 minutes to make the fluid
real hot and easy to drain. Then while the transmission's parts are still
really hot, they pour nice cold new fluid in there. Hot metal and cold fluid =
warping.

This is also what happens to your rotors. After you drive around for a while,
your rotors really heat up. Then if it starts raining, or you hit a big
puddle. Then the rotors warp. Many Jeeps have a $1000 "kit" to fix the
problem. We had the kit put in my gf's 1999 Grand Cherokee, but the rotors
still warped after 11,000 miles. It came with a 12,000 warranty though, so we
lucked out.
