What does it mean when the letter S in green on the dash stays on?
In an automatic, like mine, it means that you have pressed the button on the side of the shifter to enable "sport mode." Basically, the computer will allow each gear to run at a higher RPM before shifting, resulting in better performance when accelerating. You could argue that this will also decrease your gas mileage because you are causing the engine to work harder than in has to, but I'm not sure exactly how much the fuel efficiency suffers.
Can the automatic transmission get damaged over time by habitual shifting into Drive before the car comes to a full stop after backing up?
Not really unless your doing it at 20 mph. It is somewhat hard on the U-joints, however.
How do you cure a vauxhall vectra v6 that misfires when you accelerate quickly?
I'm not too familiar with the vehicle you are speaking of, but many misfires can be cured with a tune-up. Set timing, change plugs, change cap and rotor, change fuel filter, check fuel pressure, clean carburator/ injectors. Also, try switching to a higher grade fuel, and shifting to a lower gear before accelerating. If this does not fix it, you may want to have closer diagnostics run on the engine itself. My Story. I had this accelerating / cruising mysterious misfire. Looked around all the forums etc for an answer. I did this: Cleaned, then changed Maf. New Dis-pack. Cleaned breather system. Luckily, I have a mobile oscilliscope and in my case, my crank sensor was 'breaking' down at anything above 2500rpm, whilst driving. standing still and reving everything seemed perfect. I had No Codes or EML light as the forums had suggested. I hope this helps some other V6 Vauxhalls rev cleanly again

Almost all automatic transmissions are filled and checked with the engine running and the transmission in Park. Be sure to let the car run for a while to warm up before checking. while filling, be sure to slowly shift the transmission through all the gears (while still sitting still, parking brake on) and recheck the level after shifting.
Your 1999 Pontiac Sunfire automatic trans seems to hesitate before shifting into first It will rev then catch the gear All other gears seem to work fine What might this mean?
I'd check the transmission fluid level first and then for a slipping band inside the transmission.
Why would be vw diesel not go into reverse sometimes?
Before there can be an answer, need to know transmission type; 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic? If its the manual, its the clutch takeup cable. The shifter should have a button or detent to push in order to move it into Reverse. Its most likely loose. If its the automatic, its most likely the brake sensor that must be engaged prior to shifting from Park. Driver must fully engage the foot brake prior to shifting from Park to Reverse and from Drive to Reverse. Most likely replacement of part will fix issue.
What positions do you put automatic gear selector in when parking 2005 Mercedes sprinter?
When parking a 2005 Mercedes Sprinter with an automatic transmission, you should shift the gear selector to the "P" (Park) position. This engages the parking pawl to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Additionally, it's recommended to engage the handbrake for added security, especially on an incline. Always ensure the vehicle is fully stopped before shifting into Park.
