Bad news...  I sold a tranny some time back that got the teensiest bit o' 
water in it.  The bearings cratered within 5K miles.  If it was outside, then 
more than likely water is in there as well, and the bearings are eaten up with 
rust...  I don't think flushing it is going to be your biggest problem...

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news...  :-(  Good Luck,
