Sounds like you "drained" a gear out of it. I've seen it done in other transmissions where the crud that was in the transmission was helping it stay in gear. Your flush got rid of that crud and now your transmission is slipping. Now then, you could pour sand in the transmission to rough up the disks but I'm guessing no manufacturer has ever recommended this. What guys have done is pour a little DOT 3 brake fluid in their tranny which breaks down the friction disks and helps it grab. Once you do this there's no going back. If it ever slips again, you're rebuilding a transmission. Good luck!
