Tranny 'banged' twice after flushing. Is it normal? 850

Hi,

Today, I changed the sway bar links and flushed the tranny. No problem with the sway bar links, it's a must to get rid of the clunks and it feels great! However, After flushing the tranny, when I was switching out from Park for the first two times, it was hard to pull the knob and it made a banging sound. Then I kept the knob about five seconds in all positions and the next time I switched out from park the sound was gone. I've checked the codes thru A2&A1 and there was no code given and no dreaded arrow flashing. The tranny was operating normal prior to the incident. I'm wondering if this is normal or just one time thing. Is there anything I can do to make sure it's OK? And did anyone felt the same thing after flushing the tranny? I've used 10 qts of ATF and the fluid was nice and pink when I've stopped. The fluid level is not even 1/16" above the full line (hot). Do you think I've overfilled/lessfilled the tranny? Is there any socket different than A2&A1 to check on the transmission codes? Thanks a lot for your response.
Ihsan.
