Transmission Slips?

[Chip]

My two cents: I like the auto for rock crawling with the adventure package. You don't have to keep working the clutch. Plus you get stabilitrack which is useful for twisty gravel roads. The only problem is that there is a lag, descending steep grades, shifting between 2nd and 3rd, which causes the H-3 to jump down the hill as the torque converter engages. It's smother if you ride the brakes rather than use the gears for engine braking. I hate that.

StabiliTrak is now standard on all models (includng manuals) for '07.
