It sounds to me that you probably have a high mileage vehicle and
that you paid for a transmission *flush*. VERY BAD to do as it's
never recommended to flush the tranny fluid in a high mileage vehicle
(or any vehicle actually), since it can seriously clog passages with
gunk that can eventually total your transmission.

What Jiffy Lube *didn't* do is warn you of this. If you didn't have a
flush but merely had a drain and fill of the fluid, it's quite
possible that the fluid that was put in is not up to OEM specs. That
would be the first thing I would check (if you didn't have a flush
that is).
