Fuel Injectors

It could be your fuel injectors. On my old Max. I had to replace them & that was y mine was running slow. Try to buy some injector fluid & put it in your gas tank next time you fill up. Let me know if this helps.

Why could flushing my tranny cause problems? Should I just drain it?

Yeah, when you fill up pour it in. It is worth a try.

Flushing your tranny could cause problems because it needs the small metal particles in the fluid to shift properly. Do a search, I've read threads about peoples trannies failing right after they flushed them.
