At what RPM can you best shift with a diesel car?
Shift gears between 2,000 and 2,500 RPM for optimal engine efficiency. Allowing the RPM to go up to 3,000 RPM or higher increases speed but makes the engine work harder, which reduces fuel economy.
What does it mean when your transmission Cant shift into fourth?
If it can’t shift into fourth anymore, that means that there is a mechanical issue at hand. These things wear out and eventually even a well maintained automatic transmission will fail. We’ll cover them below.
Why is my 4L60E not shifting into overdrive?
As the 4L60E ages, one of the most common problems that it develops is that it won’t shift into overdrive anymore. Without overdrive, your vehicle turns into a time machine and takes you back to an era where it was the norm for a vehicle to scream down the highway at 3000 RPM.
Why do my RPMs go high and my mph go low?
When you put transmission fluid in and it’s low, after you run the engine with it in gear it can pump a bunch of air out of the system and then you are low again. Try filling it, running it and putting it in various gears to drive air out, then filling it again.
What causes the gears to slip in a car?
Low transmission fluid will cause the transmission to slip the gears. If the fluid is good and the transmission has been serviced before, then the clutches inside the transmission are slipping and it will need either rebuilt or replaced.
What should the gear ratio be at 65 mph?

Why is my Mercedes-Benz transmission not shifting?
If cracks develop between the two chambers, coolant will mix with transmission oil and it will destroy the transmission. This has been a well-documented issue for Mercedes-Benz cars equipped with the Valeo radiators.
