you distinctly said "holding" on a hill,which IS "stationary".
Or were you saying that your tranny slips while -going up- a hill?

If you want to "hold" while stopped for traffic,a red light,whatever,the
HANDBRAKE is the customary method of "hillholding",that is the reason it's
a HANDbrake and not just a parking brake.

It's not a "smart-ass answer",either,it's a FACT.

LOL! That's the sign of immaturity, when one can not (or will not) accept
responsibility for one's own actions.

It's not a problem on most hills, but when they get rather steep, that's
when I feel it. I guess the next time I buy a car, I need to take it on MY
test drive route and not theirs.

Ah, what the hell, just use your Hill Holder..........,uh, they used to have them on Studebakers! And, IIRC, Subarus too.

Land anchors?

yeah having the trans hold the car on a hill is extremely hard on it, is it
not?

Suburus had an inferior copy. The hill holder on my '56 Studebaker
Power Hawk it the original unit and has never required adjustment and
it's the single best friend you can have on steep hill intersections...
