I own a 97 Honda Accord, and it shifts really hard after changing a rear main seal?

I dropped my transmission to change the rear main seal, and while it was out, it tipped over and All of the transmission fluid fell out. So I went to Autozone and bought a gallon of the store brand Trans fluid. Would that cause it to shift hard? Before the repair it never did that. Hoping it's that, and not the fact of it tipping over and breaking something inside. I've been reading some stuff on the internet, most forums say to put in the Honda ATF Transmission fluid, is that required? Or when just another good brand be the same?
Added (1). It's an Automatic FYI.
