Before you take it back, go to another transmission shop and have them do pressure tests, and a test drive and get their opinion. Don't tell them that it has been supposedly fixed. A good shop should be able to give you an idea of what is wrong before they open it up.
Go back to the first shop and tell them that you are not satisfied with the repair, and give them a chance to try again. Find out if they did pressure tests. Tell them if they cannot fix it then you will take it somewhere else, and if the other place fixes it you want them to pay for it. Try to be as pleasant as possible and not beligerent, but suggest that you will have to get lawyers and the BBB involved if you cannot get satisfaction or your $1200 back.
The symptoms that you described happened to my car only after it had warmed up and was off fast idle. Before buying it I was so pleased with the way the car felt in my very short test drive that I didn't give it time to warm up. Once it was warm and the idle speed droped, I would have the neutral spinup then slam into gear as I moved off from a stop.
