:blush: Ok, I thought I knew what I was doing. I'm training on The Hill and it is killing me. I keep driving up to the start position. The directions say "Proceed to the stop position and then put on parking brake. I do this. Then it says "continue driving". I release the brake, shift to second, press the accelerator and sure enough, the car rolls backwards. The funny thing is that the first two times I tried The Hill, I succeeded. Now I can't seem to do it again.:oops:

This is really frustrating.:woohoo:

What am I doing wrong???
Thanks

hi,
i might be able to help you.
1) you say you shift to second, you should be in 1 gear when you start especially on a hill
2)on a hill with that car you should put your foot down on the accelerator.

ok i hope this could help you

And hold the brake until the revs are high enough, otherwise you'll roll back.

Yeah, I took me a while to work out how to stop the car rolling back and how to work the clutch properly. Automatics are so much easier!
