Unhappy Auto transmission issues

Hey everybody! New to posting, but I've been browsing the site over the last few months and it's been a great resource. So, I bought a used 2005 Crossfire Limited Conv, auto transmission, with 41,000 miles on it. Everything checked out when I got the car (~8 months ago), but about 4 months ago, the car randomly stalled on me at a light. I turned the car off, waited a second and started her up and everything was fine. About a week later I took her into my mechanic to have a tranny flush and refill, he said the fluid was dark, but there were no metal shavings in the fluid, so that was a good thing. But then about 3 weeks later I noticed a lag in shifting between 2nd and 3rd. At first it was maybe once every so often, but over the next few weeks it got worse and worse. So now here I am, 3 months after the tranny flush, and 80% of the time the shifts between 2nd, 3rd, and now 4th are clunky and delayed. It also takes a second too long when it kicks between drive and reverse. I'd like to go back to the mechanic with at least an idea of what might be going on... How ****** am I?
