A bit of a driving day at a local muddy quarry today.
I've done plenty of off-road in the past, but not with an auto.
Do you just leave it in automatic mode or switch to manual?
I struggled a bit on steep sections when I went to manual, not the vehicle but pushing the lever over and remembering which direction to pull the lever to change up or down.
Second question, I got a bit stuck and wanted to rock back and forwards by selecting forward then reverse then forward again quickly. Are there any techniques to doing this with an auto?
Third question. Failed hill climbs. As we know, coming to a stop means you should hold the brake pedal, then select reverse and let off the brake for a controlled descent. In manual mode how do you do that quickly?
Maybe I just need to practice a bit more so muscle memory takes over...
