In my experience, very rarely, but yes... Going down a steep iced-over hill I was in 4-lo and had the tranny in first. Like a smart lad, I was trying to use the engine compression instead of brakes to prevent my X from breaking loose and sliding down the hill. But, the compression was a bit high and the gear ratio was too restricting so the wheels would break loose and slip, then catch again. I dropped it into 2nd and the ratios worked out perfect. I didn't have to ride the brakes and I didn't break loose for the rest of the hill (about 1/8th mile at 10 mph). That is the only time I've ever encountered that scenario.
