Default Holy MisShift Batman!!!

When you read this, keep in mind i have an A4...Im gettin on the fwy, behind a semi, and I see a Honda coming fast...(he wants to beat both the semi and I just to get ahead two car lengths) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
Well, I wanted to pass the semi, so I floor it...it kicks down, and then NOTHING!!!
I almost ****...it felt like I had run out of gas but the car was still going 60mph with gas pedal floored.
it felt like it kicked, as if it were to downshift (A4 BTW), then no power. I let off the gas, then floored it again, THEN it shifted and took off.
What just happened???
I recently had the tranny serviced (fluid flush) and differential service (gear oil, etc.)
Any input? I've been testing it on the fwy lately, and it hasnt done that since that day.
