Hi, I've had a 1974 S3 88 station wagon for about a year - still sorting her out slowly. She runs well most of the time, but recently when starting to go uphill from level in 4th, and well before the point where I'd expect to change down, she starts kangarooing violently. Lifting off the accelerator slightly stops the kangarooing. Change down to 3rd, apply reasonable amount of accelerator (not foot flat on floor), same thing, cured by lifting off slightly. This is on a piece of road I travel regularly, and she's only just started doing this. Previously she would make steady progress uphill under firm acceleration, going down through the gears, as you'd expect. Nothing else significant has changed (e.g. vehicle load pretty constant). Grateful for any thoughts please!
