You *think* they put in the wrong fluid? What did you base this on?
Did you *ask* the dealer to diagnose the shudder, or just have the
service done, thinking that would fix it?
Why would servicing the tranny reduce your fuel mileage?
Why do you say that back-flushing won't fix the problem? Do you
somehow know exactly what his problem is?

Nothing personal, but how much do you know about transmissions?
