German term or phrase: Kraftschluss (hier)
....wenn der Motor ungewünscht abgestellt und, im Falle eines Automatikgetriebes, die Getriebe-Kupplung in Freilaufstellung gebracht wird.
Zum Wiederbeschleunigen muss der Motor wieder gestartet und **Kraftschluss** hergestellt werden.

Der zweite Satz wurde so übersetzt:

In order to accelerate again, the engine must be started again and **force fit** must be established.


Das "force fit" passt meiner Meinung nach hier nicht.

Nach Wyhlidal:

- power transmission, force transmission

Nach Kompakt-Wörterbuch KFZ-Technik:

- positive engagement

transmission shift (back) into gear
Explanation:
This is a typical German automotive engineer trying to sound educated. (We know engineers are educated - no need to prove anything)
A mechanic would say that "the transmission was shifted back into gear" (which of course establishes the power flow or transmits the torque or what ever, but who talks like that?)

to throw into gear


Explanation:
Ich würde mehr auf die mechanische Funktion abheben, dass nämlich das Getriebe wieder eingerückt wird.

to throw into gear | threw, thrown | einrücken | rückte ein, eingerückt |
http://pda.leo.org/ende/index_de.html#/search=einrücken&sear...

Oder

The gear must be engaged again.
