I have had an issue when reversing in L 4 on the last weeked:

I was in Low range reversing up a little grassy hill, just on idle.
It felt like it locked up or I had ran against a obstacle and building pressure, then released, gave me a kind of strong rocking motion.
Back forward did not help.
Back in high gear and left it for a few hours all good. It was a hot day on, but still.....?
I kind of thought it felt like the brakes where kicking in for hill start but why?
I don't believe it is the gearbox, as this kind of problems would IMO not simply go away if is coming from there.
Any other thoughts by anybody?I

I read that thread last week https://newranger.net/forums/viewtopic. ... 63#p141263 and Murphys law hit me on the weekend :-(
Also I found on other forums that the issue is not unheard of but so far nobody found a root cause or a fix.
It seems to hit manual and auto alike and starts with PX1

Any suggestions are highly appreciated as the cars reaction is very disturbing

Mine is manual 2015 BT50, PX1 equivalent
