I am no expert, but I can tell you this: There are no "bands" in your transmission to go loose, and I would guess no servo to tighten either. These are terms from classic American three-speed automatics and your transmission is much different, using multi-plate clutch packs to engage the various ratios.

One guess is that your screen and/or filter are plugged with fine metal particles from the bushing failure. This would also explain the black fluid. Cleaning the screen and replacing the filter shouldn't cost too much at a garage if you don't feel up to another session on your back in the snow, and of course a fluid flush should be done.

My advice is to try all external (ie less expensive) approaches before agreeing to having your transmission replaced or dismantled. Very little ever goes wrong internally with these.
