my car has gotten full transmission flush (not power flush) but the car's transmission has trouble shifting in the 3rd gear but when the rpm goes up to 7 and it's shifting fine at 4th and 5th. What's exactly wrong? When my friend's dad put the computer ont he car it said 3rd gear shifting is off. Is it the solenoid's problem or reprogramming?

If you lost 3rd gear after the service then I believe what has happened was and let me know if I am correct or not........................................................
After the service if the level was low the fluid should be topped off through the dipstick tube. It is very hard to get a funnel in there and is very hot. What we have seen is that sometimes they remove a bolt towards the back of the transmission on top. I dont recall if it is a 17mm or 19mm bolt? But if that bolt was removed to add transmission oil then you are in trouble. That bolt holds the 3rd gear band in place. Once the bolt is removed the band comes undone. If this is the case then you need to take it to a transmission shop.
