What temp was it outside when you did this? Was the trans. warmed up? The allison trans. pushes IIR 78 pounds of pressure to shift and if it is cold and the allison isn't somewhat warmed up it wont shift right either. Had this happen to me on a 2002 about 2 years ago and two nights ago with my 2003.

Careful about "flushing" it. You can damage the tranny that way.
