Default Triple Flush

I drove 4 hours to Abel Chevy in Rio Vista Calif. to have the triple flush done . That was a few months ago . I noticed later that when I first started up and drove my car it went into second "different " , like it was either slipping or lunging . Last night it did it going into 2nd and 3rd when leaving after sitting for 3 hours . After the first time it does this it will not do it again until it sets for awhile .
Any suggestions? As I said ,Abel is a 4 hour drive and I'm sure I would have to leave it there for a couple of days .
Abel Chevy is a highly recommended corvette service dealer in northern Calif .

An occasional hard shift into second at initial startup isn't real uncommon especially at cooler temperatures. Now doing so in second and third and may be indication of a problem. Since it's not an easy trip to your dealer, you may want to see if it does it again and if so
take it in. At least that's what I would do. Good luck!

If this issue only appeared after the flush then it is something the dealer has done wrong. Were there any issues before? Unfortunately it has to be checked out and means another trip.
