This was probably what is called a "miss."   It just means that for 
one or more power strokes of your engine, nothing happened.  If your 
car is still FI it could either be a FI or ignition problem.  This 
might be an isolated incident or the start of something that you will 
eventually have to find and fix.  At this point there is no way to 
tell.

It probably had nothing to do with the transmission.  That is good
