Default flushed trans and now trans acting wierd

Well I had my Transmission flushed and new fluid added today at the local Kwick Car lube center and while driving around today it seemed like it was slipping when I got on it on the entrance ramp. I just seems like its not shifting quite right. Is it normal right after a fluid flush for the trans to be like that. Does the trans have to get used to the new fluid or something. Also I had my cut-outs open for only the second day, does opening the cutouts make the trans shift differently, does the computer have to get used to them being open? Sorry for all the questions but all of this is really bugging me.

Did you check you fluid level? Make sure you check it in Park with the motor running.

You didnt have them put synthethic in did you? Bc i see your truck is a 99... and ive heard putting synthetic in a high mileage tranny for the first time isnt a good thing. If you put it in earlier than its okay... but what fluid did they put back in, just reg ATF?

I flushed alot of cars/trucks and never heard anything about shifting problems. I agree with NakedAV , check the fluid level.I know with our machine, it will only put back in what it took out. So if your trannys is low, it will still be low after the flush.
