We don't know what they did but it is safe to assume something happened if only after flushing this problems arises? I not trying to argue but we are merely assuming that the "technician" was thorough with the job. If the lines were crossed then he is going to have an issue. I am not a mechanic nor claim to be but could the person back flushed everything causing an issue? I think he needs to have a transmission shop look at this then if evidence shows it was caused by the shop, have a nice talk with them.
