Question '98 210 - stalls when rolling backward...

First time I've experienced this... I was going up the driveway the other day and had to stop at te top because a contractor vehicle was sitting there blocking my path. I had nowhere to go so I had to roll backwards about 75 feet and then go back up the other way.

I simply left the transmission in D and let off the brake and made a slow controlled descent. At some point, I felt a clunk and when I came to a stop and tried to move forward again, I discovered that the engine had stalled.

I started it back up and all has been fine ever since. Is this a problem or just a characteristic of the transmission?

Thanks!
