So my driveway is on a pretty steep hill. Its liek a 40 degree incline, if not more, and umm, whenever I come back from college or work or anywhere to park on this driveway, 2 things usually happen.

1, The car stalls.
(I get mad)

2, I get the car where I want it, but I can tell I am burning the clutch, cause there is quite some slipping and it smells like cat piss.
(I start to cry, and I go to my room, close the door, and cry some more, for hours at a time)

So I usually am afraid of reverse parking uphill. But I do it anyway.

This has not happened to me in any other car...usually ,lol.

I know I have to work on my technique.

Any advice guys? Step by step directions would be nice.

I know I am not the only one with this problem...

 

try to completely engage the reverse gear before getting on the hill

Be nice to the guy.
I would just suggest getting more comfortable with your car, like has been stated before, or take it to a shop if you think your clutch is the problem.

 

Can you post a pic of your driveway? Then we could maybe understand what your dealin with...

I have a 40 degree driveay myself.. about 100 ft long.. I never have had any problems.

Can you pul in and park forward? Then back out?

 

I will try to get a pic up.

But yea I can pull in and park forward, with no problem.

I guess tis just really careful footwork....

 

Using your parking brake...get your clutch play out until you feel the car pulling on the brake w/o stalling, then drop the e-brake down & keep on goin' . Always a good policy when you're at a stop light on a strong incline as well

I will try everything you guys have said. Thanks.

 

I had to use that trick when pulling out of verizon center one night.. worked great. Didn't wanna roll back into the benzz behind me
