Jeez!! Those must be some BIG hills!! The path that power takes through a C-4
is completely different in 1st gear "manual" and 1st gear "Drive". The end ratio
is the same, but the internal application of clutch bands and packs is different,
so the symptom you are describing does indeed indicate something is wrong with your
tranny. The good news is, a buddy of mine drove his for several years with the same
deal, so take Craig's advice, treat her like a virgin(gently, gently), and she may
carry you a long time. You tranny is not really working the way it should at all
other times, but the symptoms at these times are pretty subtle.
