On hills I roll back a bit sometimes to let others know there are still manuals on the road and not to tailgate at stop lights.

Stop, go, stop, go.
I have a T-??(I forget) 4 speed fresh out of my 68. Reverse is where 1st should be.
I got a C6 to put in its place that just needs probably a couple gallons of water taken out of it and a rebuild. Well I had a few gallons come out of one of the 360's I picked up and can't remember if it was the one attached to the C6 or not.

I sometimes shift slowly for the same reason..
You can see them coming up on you when your vehicles slows a bit in between shifts.
