Default Mechanic did a transmission flush on my Honda Element and now he's found "fibers"

Mechanic did a transmission flush on my Honda Element EX 2004 automatic. There were no issues that I could tell before the flush but now he says there are "fibers"? I saw that Honda does NOT recommend flushes and that it could make matters worse. Did this mechanic **** up my car and what does he mean by "fibers" after he did the flush??

1st. You've posted in the wrong forum.
2nd. ALL services must be cleared by the vehicle owner BEFORE they're performed. This might have been something you paid attention to BEFORE giving the green light to the shop to perform them.
3rd. No clue what they're talking about, unless it's particles of the filter. **shrug**

My suggestion is find a new shop or a tech that knows wtf they're doing.
