It does not want to shift

Check the transmission fluid.make sure the car is at operating temperature and in park.go to parts store and buy transmission filter kit. automatic transmission works on fluid pressure if it is restricted the tramsmission won't shift right.the fluid and filter are to b changed usually between 40 to 50k miles

I have the same problem on my 2007 Mercedes E350, and cant get an accurate answer from any body, every body tell me different things even Mercedes Dealer. Help me!!!

If it has a floor mounted lever than it is shift on the fly for 4Hi, however most people prefer to go slower or be fully stopped to make sure it fully engages properly. To shift into 4-Lo, you have to be rolling at about 3MPH with the transmission in NEUTRAL. On the floor mounted shifter, firmly shift into Lo without pausing in neutral. Don't be afraid to be forceful, it's designed to be engaged firmly and quickly.

Well. could be a number of things... One Transmission shift cable... with the salt cold and road debris it could be frozen... This is assuming that shift lever is not moving.. Let me know if thats the case and I will go into further detail which ever direction you give me

You can shift between 2Hi and 4Hi when the truck is moving. Just let off the gas and shift it. But in order to shift to Neutral or 4Lo you need to stop the truck and shift the transmission into neutral then shift the transfer case.

You have a problem with your transmission that needs to be adressed my a good trans shop.

You should be able to put in 4x4 while in drive less than 35mph. Mine had a switch to turn to engage or dis-engage.

If all the gears including Reverse and Neutral show up in there proper place on the shift indicator your problem is either the linkage or the transmission. If your shift indicator is not lining up correctly you are probably putting the car in Second instead of Drive although Drive is showing. See if you can find neutral and go down 1 click regardless what it shows. Then try it. If that solves it, the little needle slipped and it is a simple adjustment to reset it.

have you tried having the transmission control module re-flashed?

e the neutral safety switch looked at....it should start in neutral anytime you have this problem.
