One of the most common causes of gears in a Mercedes Benz A class 160 automatic gearbox to slip and not shift up to higher gears is a bad transmission. If the transmission is failing, or not working properly, you won't get the gears to shift up.

What causes the gears in a Mercedes A160 automati gearbox to slip and not shift up to higher gears?
There can be several causes for the gears in a Mercedes A160 automatic gearbox to slip and not shift up to higher gears. One of the main causes is a leak in the intake. This could be a leak from a connection, or even a case of the intake bolts not tightened enough.
What does a s in a circle mean on the dash board of a vauxhall omega?
It means the sport mode for the automatic gearbox is turned on. This changes the way the 'box changes gear - upshifts are at much higher revs, downshifts are quicker.
What does 'power' and the 'snow' switches do?
The power button will allow the automatic gearbox to rev higher thus giving a wider power range. The snow button reduces power to the drive wheels to prevent spinning and therefore loss of control.
What does SD mean in automatic car?
The car contains a direct-shift gearbox. D will fully engage the clutch and propel you forward and S (sport mode) will do basically the same thing except upshifts and downshifts are made much higher up the engine rev-range.
Do Mercedes-Benz have televisions?
i think not the base versions, but the higher versions surely have.
Is the mustang automatic 5.0 transmission different from the 2.3 automatic transmission?
Yes - it's rated for a much higher torque strain, for starters.
Why is a gearbox fitted to a vehicle?
A car engine has a limited range of revolutions that it can achieve. In normal operation this is from around 800 revolutions per minute to 7,000 revolutions per minute. Any higher than this and the engine would suffer damage. So one reason for using a gearbox is to allow the engine to continue transferring power to the wheels over all speeds. Secondly consider this: If the engine were set to make the car move at 70 MPH then the amount of torque required to make the car move from a standstill would be greater than the amount of power the car could produce to move the car forward. Moving from a standing start would stall the engine. So its true to say that the gearbox sacrifices speed for torque. To do this, the gearbox changes the ratio of the engine speed and the wheels. Starting in a low gear the engine spins more revolutions to get one spin of the wheels. In a high gear the ratio of the engine revs to the wheel revs in closer to or above unity. Cars can have fitted either a manually selected gear box, a semiautomatic or fully automatic gearbox. In a manual select car the ratio is selected via a gear stick and the selections is by the driver. In a semi-select car the clutch is automatic but the gear selection is manual. In a fully automatic the clutch and the gearbox selection is either by a mechanical system or in the case of newer cars via a small computer.

How do you change gears on a dump truck without grinding the gears?
Gearboxes on trucks are generally not synchromesh. It means there is no mechanism to automatically adjust the speed of the engine and the gearbox to match. Therefore if we would simply change gears like in the modern passenger car equipped with the synchromesh gearbox by depressing the clutch and shifting the gear up or down before releasing the clutch the different speeds of the engine and the gearbox would cause the grinding. To avoid this change requires process called double clutch. It goes like this: 1. Depress the clutch, 2. Shift the gear into neutral, 3. Release the clutch, 4. If shifting down depress the accelerator to rev up the engine so the rpm's of the engine are slightly higher than the gearbox and release it; if shifting down depressing the accelerator may not be necessary if the whole process is done quickly enough, 5. Depress the clutch again - that's why it is called double clutch, 6. Shift the gearbox into next gear (up or down). At this stage the rpm's of the engine will be slightly higher than the gearbox and the engine will be slowing down at some point the speed of the engine and the gearbox will match and the gear will go in without grinding. This needs to be done with the feel and with the bit of practice it becomes automatic. The amount the engine needs to be speeded up will depend on the conditions for example if changing gears when going up the hill.
