Extreme hard shifts after fluid change

So I took MDX to dealer 2 days ago. Had fluid changed as part of A123 service and drove it on the freeway 100mi yesterday. This morning took it out and the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts are so hard it jolts the car! Any ideas?

Most likely they used the wrong fluid. Tell us:

1) Make model year of vehicle and type of transmission?
2) What fluid does it state on your repair receipt was used?
3) What fluid does it state in your owners manual to be used?

How many miles?
Did they do just a drain and fill or a complete flush?

It is a 2013 with 50k miles on it. Just a fluid change. After this occured on Sunday went out a few hours later and drove it the hard shifts were gone.

You should change the AT filter too in the near future if you haven't already. Located at the lower-left front area of the trans.
