i have only experienced this a few times & only when the engine is cold..
ill drive slow out of the neighborhood and then it shifts to second fine but then the rpms will rev higher and it feels like it shifted again to second.. other then that it feels like it shifts perfectly
any ideas?

you may want to pass on the flush but you want to get the filter changed so it doesnt get any worse and when doing that they only change about half the fluid then in about 6-8 months you can do it again... for what its worth i don't think that it is a good to leave it alone as viscosity and line pressure are so inportant in an automatic
