Auto transmission does not work right after power ATF flush, Slip?

Hi everyone,
I recently have the dealer power flushed my ATF, but after that I feel my tranny does not work as before. When upshifts, it seems wait a second to "engage" the next gear. So my rpm goes up and down and I lost acceleration a little bit.
Is this the so-called "tranny slip"?

I check my tranny fluid level.
It seems a little overfill. (I never check the tranny fluid before, so I am not sure about this.)
Is it possible that the dealer overfill the fluid that cause this problem?

I did the Flush myself... and so far nothing wrong. Shifting improve a lot from before. That's the reason I did it myself, they do carp service and your car always go worse.

Take it back and tell them they screw up and you want a NEW one not a rebuild.....

Checking the tranny fluid can be tricky, it would have to be overfilled alot to cause any real problem, take it back and tell them that it is "shifting abnormaly" and you heard of a TSB out for that problem. The TSB should be listed in the TSB section. Had my valve body replaced for free with this TSB.
