Transmission promlem?

I have a 1986 firebird-trans am with tpi and stock transmission. Tranny Ran fine did a tranny filter and oil change still ran find for like a month and then i let it sit in my garage for like a month due to vacation and then i went to drive it and the car was kickign pretty hard into gear and did not want to up shift or down shift when you get on it. I found out that i accidentaly overfiled it a pint. Newb mistake i kno drain the excess and put correct amount int car shifts a lil better but still doesnt wanna down shift and then up shift when you get on it. And does want to up shift when i just press the peedle and start gradualy speeding up. Now could there be any simple thing i could be missing besides the fact that i just blew my transmisiin due to overfilling it any ideas would help thanks.
