On my 04 S430 with a 7 speed trans, I noticed when I stop on my driveway that has a slight incline it will start to roll backwards when its in drive. Any idea's?
I'm pretty sure this is normal behavior for the 7-speed transmission. I researched the transmission a little before buying my car, and I remember reading somewhere that the sprag clutches had to be eliminated to make room for the addition 2 gears in the same space.
Outstanding info, thank you very much. I pulled this off of your link "If your vehicle has a 7-speed you may have noticed that 722.9 transmissions have no hill holding capacity, and they roll backwards with your foot off the brake."
