My S/C with 6 spd also does it uphill, depending on how steep but a 30 deg (getting out of our parking garage) will let it go back a little unless you put a bit of throttle on. I guess at low revs the torque converter does not put a lot of torque through and with a heavy car that is not enough to hold it stationary on "steeper" inclines.

Spray the gear linkage with WD40 or Grease on the side of the gearbox first as this is one of the symptoms of a corroded linkage... |

It is very funny to see we all have our favourite remedies to resolve car issues. Gary sprays and lubes gear linkages, I prefer to clean all the ground connectors and battery clamps on a car MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

WD40 the linkage then clean the cable as much as possible of dirt then grease it with a decent thick grease. If you're not one of our more portly members it can be done with the car in standard (or off-road if you've had a good christmas or got sidesteps) height.

It was added by the garage but they called it "RedLube", not been able to find it myself so I am assuming it's something along the lines of the Dr Tranny stuff.

Thanks, will have a look on the net to see if I can get hold of it. I have had filter and (almost) 7 liters of oil changed and just would like to add an additive to make sure the gearbox gets "the best". MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!! Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !! |

Not going to restart and old thorny chestnut, but the best is probably the stuff the gearbox was designed to run on - I personally avoid additives (unless I understand exactly why I am adding it and exactly what effect it will have). |

Hi Simes, I tend to agree with you although I have had positive experiences with additives as well. And since my gearbox problems (3-4 shift in D not doing well) are still not gone, I may be clutching at straws (I am very hesitant to reflash the ECU with the Faultmate due to past reliability issues on data transfer).

You might merely be hiding a symptom rather than curing the disease though... |
