The transmission did not slip or act funny prior to the flush/refill. Now when it is cold, the transmission will hesitate and slip a bit. Once it warms up, back to normal. Smooth sailing. Should I go back and ask them to adjust the transmission bands? It is not leaking nor is the fluid low. Am I looking at a potential rebuild?/replacement? Any input would be very helpful.
CHEERS!

Hi Roberson, I had a 250 94 Dodgeram with 115k and the tranny would slip a little when cold. I went to a supposedly very good transmisson man and he told me that the reason it was slipping was because thev torque converter didn't staart circulating the fluid until it was taken out of park. So maybe you could try taking it out of park after cranking and let it warm up a little first... It worked for me...god luck..
