    Low Range Driving Technique ?????

    I've had my vehicle now for about 16 months, and up until yesterday have only driven in 2wd or 4x4 high (beach).
    Yesterday we headed out to do some tracks around Lithgow NSW.
    For those of you that know the area, we drove to "The Lost City", down "Black Fellows Hand" and then up "Baal Bone Gap" cutting back down "Long Swamp Rd".
    My previous vehicles have been Pajeros, autos and manuals and all petrol powered, and have travelled the above tracks many times with them.
    Yesterday I was having a lot of trouble controlling the engine revs/power while climbing the steeper and rougher sections.
    I found it difficult to keep revs and speed constant. First time it happened, my wife looked at me and said "what the "F" are you doing". She thought I was deliberately doing it to annoy her.
    I am hoping that someone may be able to supply some pointers of how to overcome this. ( I dont mean my wife yelling at me)
