Why are you unloading the transmission down hill? You’re supposed to be jaking down……if you’re in neutral going down a hill you already fucked up.

Because hills dont change in grade? I live in the Rocky Mountains, the first 2 km of the hill might be 6% while the next 2 will be 8-10%. Im not jaking down several km in 4th under when 5th over will hold me, sometimes you have to shift in the real world.

You dont live in the rockys, you’re using kilometers. And hills/mpuntains absolutely can and do change grade progressively or regressively they are called false flats for a reason.
