I have heard that these tranny flushes for the most part are bad news. That sometimes all that crap they dislodge, some can get into places it shouldnt...dont quote me on that. For the most part...i read that if your tranny has lots of miles on it...flushing is not a good thing....But...I know nothing about it (you should research tranny flushing)....I just find it interesting that you're having what sounds like possible tranny slipping problems after a flush...and you mention very clearly that you just had a flush done.

Now, are you saying that your car was working just fine before the flush...and now erratic after the flush? Or, was this why you got the flush in the first place?

I had a strange similar thing happen to me with a different car. I took the car in for a smog....and when I got it back....I had to give it more gas to get it going in reverse or forward. After about a block of this...I pulled over...and started looking around...I could smell hot brake pad...you know that wonderful asbestos smell? Turns out that the mech had my emergency brake on (which I have never used), and that the dash light was not lighting due to a dirty socket. Makes the car run like a slipping tranny.
