If I am on an uphill incline, steep or not, with the car in drive (or 4 as marked), and I have to come to a stop, the car will roll back. Is that normal? If not, is there anything I can do about it?
Thanks.

The 'box is a 722.2xx.
The roll-back is normal; the 722.2, when brought to a halt, stops in 2nd gear, and hence less engine torque is applied to the driveline than if stopped in 1st gear. As soon as the throttle pedal is moved to start off, the 'box shifts to 1st. That shift from 2nd to 1st can usually be felt as a slight bump, if one is paying attention and opens the throttle slowly.
