Svengouli7 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hey all. Recently rebuilt my 4eat AWD in our 92 legacy. I've put about 500 road miles on it since- so we decided to take it out to the mountains to play for the day. Everything was dandy all day- but on one steep descent down a FS road I had it in 1st to slow it down and had the engine stall out. I'm thinking this could have been a fault with the torque converter since this is its primary function- but putting it out ther to see if there's any other valuable input for me on this. We had no other problems the rest of the day but I chose to use 2nd and more brakes for our other declines Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Using first gear, as a gear down to slow down on declining steep grade sounds a bit too much to ask the tranny and engine to do. Second gear with some braking is what I would do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
