[QUOTE="brendomac, post: 565548, member: 7619"] Hi All, I have a 4x4, 2014 manual Mitsubishi Triton. Overall a good car, with an exception. When I am in low range, in 1st gear going down steep gradients the car wants to run away from me and I have to use the brake. In other 4x4's I have driven (even really old ones), 1st gear in low range is great, I don't have to use the brakes, it just creeps down the hill, even with a heavy trailer in tow. So far I have been lucky, it hasn't been super wet or snowy and I have gotten away with it. Even in victoria high country. Talking to another Mitsubishi owner, this is a thing for that model. My question is, do I have any options? Can I get the gearing replaced/changed etc? Is there a magical thing I can add to the car etc? I don't particularly want to get rid of the car, it has been good. If you ideas on costs or who (is it a mechanic, 4x4 shop etc) I should talk to it would be much appreciated. Thanks Brendo [/QUOTE]
