    Good advice , I'm looking to buy used honda manual transmission and looking for advice to check trans, this video taught me a lot, but it's difficult or impossible to shift gear on the transmission using screw driver, wonder if there is special device to shift gear.

      Unfortunately the cvt internals are a lot different. So somethings maybe apply but other stuff not so much. I highly recommend googling inner pics of cvt transmission and then honda gsr trans internals. You'll see how they vary.

    If the shaft at the torque converter side don't spin and seized even when cycling the shift lever on a automatic transmission is that normal? I haven't checked the output side the 4x4 differential is still attached....the diferential turns at different gears but can't tell if the transmission is turning its a toyota 340F automatic and my torque converter free spins clockwise and counter clockwise not sure if that is normal

    How about a transmission with none of these tell tale signs that it's bad? I just replaced one in a 97 camry and it won't even select a gear. Only goes into park. Shifter is fine, differential is fine. All plugs on the outside of transmission were replaced and the shift solenoids were also replaced. No metal shavings in the pan or the plug and the fluid didn't smell burnt. What could be wrong?

    I have a question bud
    My transmission is locked and doesn’t move when it’s on drive , I’m wondering what the hell is making it do that.
    I recently got my differential assembly replaced but these idiots did something where there was a leak coming from it , so I was told it has something to do with my transmission.
    Don’t you just like spending damn near $2k just to leave the mechanic and have them tell you there’s a new problem all of a sudden 🙄 anyways , I’m stuck again. Do you have any clue what makes the transmission get stuck like that? I’ll press on the gas and it doesn’t go anywhere.
    I can reverse it , and I can only drive it on second gear ⚙️ because drive won’t work

      You could put it in gear with engine still attached, if the car is on the ground though you will not be able to spin the wheels or course. Over here they have the cars welded to rims on the pinch welds so the wheels are off the ground. If you put it in gear you could spin wheels and listen for anything out of the ordinary

When I first put it in, it's like it's locked sometimes, I have to wiggle it back and forth hard and then it will spin. Really hard to move reverse compared to the others. Also it isn't locked everytime I put it in reverse but most times it is. Is this normal? Thank you
