Gravity going down hill the throttle pulled back by governor, so it basically free wheeling, only thing slow down is braking.
Thats incorrect, when its climbing a hill carburetor/Throttle body, is wide open giving everything it has.

The car is also not freewheeling down hill, the clutches, although somewhat disengaged and hold ing the car from just going down hill willy nilly.
