MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - reverse problem on GTV8

I've been experiencing an unusual problem with my 1974 gtv8 .
the car will reverse while on the flat but will only reverse with lots of revs and clutch sliping when on the slightest encline.
no mechanics that i've approached(all MG spcialists)has ever heard of the problem and are completely foxed.
can anyone help?

Check float levels and verify that elevating the rear doesn't cause engine flooding.

overdrive problems can cause that, if I recall correctly, don't have my Workshop Manual to hand.
