On a slope, cannot get the car into gear.
I recently bought a '76 and I noticed when I'm on ramps (engine raised) or now on a slope in a parking lot, that I cannot get it into gear. I ended up coasting backwards to gain speed, and turned the car around to face down slope. Then it went into gear easily. This car was supposedly restored a...- Scirocco333
