going up the hill
i find my manual 3rd gear very inefficient when i am going up any hill. i ave to come down to 2 nd gear which causes a lot of engine noise and high revs.
i am talking about on road driving/towing a boat.
is this situation specific to my car?
has anyone got similar problems?
can anything be done about it?
otherwise on normal roads car drives perfect in any gear.

about 2 tonnes gross weight with the trailer but even when i am not towing or whether the car is loaded or not i lack the power i need in 3rd gear going up hill.i think we are talking speeds of 40-50miles/hr. it feels as if it is too high of a gear.on level roads it pulls and accelerates fine
