Strange stall.

So i was on a hill today coming home, nothing crazy though. I was rolling back, so i gave it gas like I always do, and it stalled much earlier than I have ever seen it happen. And this is coming from the guy who hasnt stalled his car since he got it in December. The weird part though, is after I started it back up, and I started accelerating on the flat road, my 1st gear felt like i was going nowhere, and the RPMs were not climbing like they should. I shifted into 2nd, and about 4 seconds after it lagged in 2nd, I felt a literal "oomhm" and everything was back to normal. My engine sounded fine. I want to know if this is something I should be worrying about, or if it has happened to any of you before.

Re: Strange stall.

Tranny fluid looking OK?

Monitor it.
If everything is back to normal, don't worry about it.
Think you just got all weird from stalling your car for the first time..haha

Re: Strange stall.

I agree with the latter part of your post. I don't see how tranny fluid would have anything to do with it though. I had a similar experience not too long ago. I stalled going up a hill. Downshifted into 2nd gear, but apparently I didn't have enough momentum because the idiot in front of me never actually took off. I did a bucking bronco stall. It took me by surprise. You get kinda caught off guard once you get used to driving and not actually stalling. I honestly think you're fine. Just report back if the car starts doing it again though.
