Wassup, one of my friends has a civic 4-door with the d15 and auto tranny....when the car is on a hill while in drive it will roll back and you have the balance the gas pedal to keep it from moving backward so we would have to keep the rpms up to 1700 just to balance it..it is really bad...

Any suggestions on what would it be???

Normal. The torque converter can't provide enough torque on certain degrees of incline to keep the weight of the car from moving backwards. There's not a dowel that locks the car into a still position when you're on an incline, so the torque converter has to work to keep the car from rolling.

Don't be concerned. A 1.5L engine doesn't make much torque

 

if it is a really steep hill it could just be normal, if the force of gravity is greater than the force the engine can exert at idle, it will roll back

 

lol this is normal man...

 

do his brakes work?

hmaybe cause hes on a hill

 

lol but u guys dont understand...i mean on the slightest incline it rolls back

 

your tranny may be going bad
dose 1st gear slip at all?
if not i wouldnt worry about it too much unless you neutral bomb it
just use te e-brake until you get in the rpm's

anybody kno anything about the auto trans mine is slipping ***** and is pretty f&*(ed
