Title: Should my Autobox do this?
Post by: hoj on 16 May 2009, 07:43:06

I live on a hill hence my drive is on a slight incline not that big of a slope just raises about 18"  over the lenght of the car.
I have to reverse up the drive for ease of getting back out so when reversing i go up put my foot on the brake and when taking it off the car seems to slide back down whilst still in R.
Am presuming this is a slipping box so my question is can it be adjusted/tightened up, is it belts? or does it sound like a major job
If i do happen to go up the drive forward it never slips back down whilst in D and the box is fine in normal use.

Presumably the fluid level is all OK, and fluid is in good condition?

All my autos have seemed feeble in reverse first thing.
Feels like its waiting to pump some fluid somewhere.
Current one has been this way for 50K.
