Default Hard shift into 1st?

Today while driving, my car gave me a very hard shift into 1st. My tranny has never gave me a problem or anything. After that it was back to normal. And it wont do it again. Is this a building up problem, or should i worry about this. The car is shifting perfect now it was just that one time this morning.

I just did a tranny flush with synchromesh also... I noticed some hard shifts the first week, and it eventually went away. Now it's smooth as butter.
