Post Help, Automatic Transmission on a Honda Prelude 1998

I bough a Honda prelude in the beginning of the year, and I've been tuning up the car because the previous owner didn't care about the car so this is my problem. Yesterday I took my prelude to get the transmission oil change in a shop, and now the car doesn't change gears. The transmission was fine before the transmission oil change but I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

when they flushed it it cleans everything out of it and its not good for it in less u get it from brand new

the dirt and build up in the tranny holds the bands and clutches together
when u clean all that out it makes it everything come lose and ur probable have to get it rebuilt now

The transmission in your car is a known problem tranny... google it
I bet when you had it flushed it was not refilled with HONDA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION fluid but a cheaper substitute, Try draining and refilling with the authentic and see what happens, might get lucky...
