Word of caution!! Anytime you are backing up a steep incline, the transmission can get really hot. Torque converter never locks and the fluid connection will build heat quickly so if you are having a hard time getting it positioned and taking an extremely long time you may want to let the transmission cool some. Leave the shift selector in N (neutral) while you fast idle the engine. I don't think transmissions will circulate fluid if in P (park). You should allow transmission to cool down before continuing.
