Hello,
I drive a 2007 Jeep Compass 5-speed manual 2.4L. Many times I have to park on a hill at night (with the front of the Jeep pointing down). I park the Jeep in reverse with the e-brake on. In the morning, when I try to back up off the hill, there is a delay before the transmission catches or the gas kicks in. I have parked in this spot for years with another car with a manual tranny with no problem.
Perhaps I need shift to 1st gear first to clear the gearbox? Any other thoughts? Thanks!
