    5 mph is quite fast for coupling. Try sticking to 1-2 mph.

    Approach at 5mph. Than slow down with indipendent brake to 1/2mph. As soon as you are really near the car set the throttle to notch 1. At the moment of coupling full apply the indipendent brake and release the throttle. This is the correct procedure.
