rolls backwards in drive
If I am on an moderate incline and I stop, when I take my foot off of the brake the car will roll backwards untill I hit the gas. Is this normal in an Automatic, 05 Civic, LX sedan?
Thanks.
Thanks.

makes sense... not enough pressure in the torque converter to spin 1st gear. Almost any car does it. Whats the time between foot off brake and foot on gas? 1/2 a second?

actually, if you let it roll far and fast enough, you can actually stall the engine...

most SUVs won't roll or cars with V6+ engines. More torque
Actually does anyone with a manual ever notice that if you hold the car still with the clutch and gas on a hill, instead of jumping off the brake to stop the roll that your car seems to shift a little differently, like the clutch got spongy almost?

Rep Power: 288 "one of the many features available on the all new German engineered Passat" is that hill assist stuff where you take your foot off the brake and gas and it jsut stays there... stupid germans...whats the point?
ive stalled an automatic many times
my old neon use to stall out at low speeds all the time!
