Why do you shift down when going up a hill?

The downshift causes the engine to turn at a slower rate. This causes the wheels of the car and the engine to be more similar and gives more of an emphasis on producing power versus a top speed which is achieved in a higher gear. Alternate answer: An internal combustion engine only develops power when it is turning between a narrow band of revs. usually between 3000 and 6000 rpm on the average car. The hill puts a heavy load on the engine and causes it to slow down. Shifting to a lower gear (actually a higher gear ratio), allows the engine to speed up and develop more power to cope with the hill.

What causes the car stop going into gear?

Your question doesn't give much detail but the car may not go into gear while you're driving (manual only) because the car's speed and engine speed are not suitable for the gear. E.g. If you're driving at 100km/h (60mph) it could become very difficult to change down to first gear.
