This is a post I put on another T.C.S thread....but I didn't get any feedback on it. I would really like to know if anyone has had this problem before or can explain what causes it:

"I will say this tho......I just found out a few minutes ago that my car handles holding on a high incline differently when the TCS is off. I had been driving mostly with it on, and usually I turn off of this particular incline ramp onto the highway with little difficulty. But today, i was toying around with the TCS off and when i got on the incline and stopped to wait for traffic, the car wouldn't hold the incline by regulating the gas pedal. It held for a few seconds (i usually have no problem holding a dead stop on an incline in my manual), then it began to lose power. I had to give it more and more gas....but it would hold for only a few seconds and then start to lose power. Finally i was giving it so much gas it started to climb onto the highway , so i had to let off and then it began to skate backward down the incline. I braked and saw i had an openning so i gave it some more gas to go back up. Needless to say it started to spin tires and race......so, i went with it. I get onto the highway, backend fishing, and try to get it into second to slow the wheel spin and engine down....it jammed, would not go into second. I had to keep peeling out until i got straight on the highway and picked up some speed before it would go into second.

It kinda sucked cuz it ended up looking like i was trying to be Billy Badass coming out of the postoffice. lol. I couldn't figure it out so i circled back around and turned back into the post office. This time i turned TCS on and tried the incline again. With the TCS on it held the incline just fine.........so what the hell? "
