ASR can be dangerous, I highly recommend a dealer or highly recommended mechanic look at. Could be complicated, or just some loose connections affecting both asr and Transmission.

SOURCE: Transmission won't shift

The car is going into what is called "limp mode". It's detecting a problem of some sort that is drivetrain-related (which could mean a faulty sensor or transmission controller, or a fault with the engine), and it's locking the transmission into second gear to protect it from excessive road speed and RPM. Do you have a check-engine light on? Whether you do or not, you may have a stored fault code in the car that can be read with a code scanner, and if so, that'll be a good starting point. If you can get the car scanned, it'd help a lot - post back up with what you find out and we'll take it from there.

SOURCE: Transmission or Engagement issue?

I had the same problem with my 2006 Forenza - the problem was the transmission range sensor. If you look under the hood, on the drivers side, you'll see your trans. cable connected to a round part that also has an electrical cable coming from it. That is it. Part costs $36.07 at oemsuzukiparts.com (search for Neutral safety switch in the mechanical catalog).

Toyota lexcen automatic wont shift out of first gear, reverses well tho

Start with shift sensor. Then go down the line. It is possible something went wrong during the last shift and the transmission sensor locked it down into safety mode to avoid ripping up transmission. If this doesn't fix it you may need a rebuild.

Whilst driving, my E280 gear box moved into neutral for about a second or two, and it shifted into the next gear with a strong sudden ****.

seems like faulty transmission, the reason is when you drive the car gears are up shift form 1 to 2 , 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5, like that it should be 7 speed auto trans mission in your car, if you mention when which gear up shift the problem occurred I can give more information about what's the fault in transmission, so according to your details it's like two gears are engage together, when two gears are engage same time the transmission control unit understand it's something getting wrong in the transmission according to actual value of gear ratio, then trans mission change the gear to neutral for a second and after that it give the one lower gear than the gear which was stuck and drive fine, this thing might not happen all the time but is the problem verse it can happen all the time, the solution is you must get your car to the Mercedes dealer workshop then they can find what's the wrong inside the transmission before remove it, they have advance diagnose tool for it, then they will repair your transmission, this is the cheapest way, if some one repair your transmission without right understanding regarding what's the exactly fault you will be stuck, may have to be remove again and again,

My car will not automatically shift in low gears and the service light is flashing what could it be?

when the " S " light flashes, there is something wrong with the transmission. So I guess the transmission got stuck internally. Try to flush the trans fluid and put in new fluid. If it still giving gear shifting problem, looks like you have to rebuilt the transmission or buy reconditioned unit.
