It sounds as if they either misadjusted the shift control cable or the throttle linkage (causing the shift control cable to activate when it shouldn't).

The mileage is probably a simple result of later shift points. The gear hunting between 30 and 40 is indicative of either a misadjusted shift control cable or a binding cable.
