97-2001 honda accord won't go in gear

Gear shift problem solved

[@daisyladyklg8538]

Just in case this doesn’t work for your vierwers... I had a problem where my 2001 Honda Accord would not shift out of park. It was a few months ago & I was visiting my son in college about 4 hours from home and was really freaked out. I watched a different video here on KZbin that really saved the day. I found out that it needed a part called the brake light switch which needed to be replaced. To get it home in the meantime, all I needed to do was stick a key or something similar (I used a fork) into the little hole just to the left of the Red “P” on the shift panel. It was an amazing instant fix until I was able to replace the part 🙏 ✌️💞

This worked for me. I took a pen cap out of the hole at first because it didn’t belong in there but when I put it back it started working again.

I watched several videos that didn't help with the issue. Anyone can put a key or screw driver in the slot but that's just temporary and doesn't fix the issue. In this case the shifter was my issue too and now it's fixed. A fuse would be a first thing to do, then check brake lights to be sure they work. Then this would be #3) to reassemble the shifter. My chronological order is screwed up as to how I finally got to your awesome video. 😂, Some take drastic measures and replace the computer also the TPS throttle position sensor can also prevent the car from getting out of park. I'm so glad I finally got to your video. God bless you for sharing and now I subscribed to your channel. Thanks brother

I have never commented on a video before. This deserves it. Your video is exactly what I needed. Can’t thank you enough. Well done.

I can tell you have a good helper there! Knowledge keeps us from getting taken advantage of - good prep for her for when she owns a car

THANK YOU SIR, YOU AND YOUR HELPER SAVED ME TIME AND MONEY!

[@johncena2336]

I think you just saved my car, thanks so much bro. I’m going to the junkyard to see if I can find a new button tomorrow

[@johncena2336]

You helped me out so much with this video man 😊 You’re awesome!

[@eyeg5967]

If this starts to not work bro it’s your shifter cable going out to fix it tho every time it gets stuck to the right of the gear knob there’s a tiny slot you can slide something in to release it and you’ll be able to change gears as you have that button pushed down in the slot

[@johncena2336]

@@eyeg5967 sold since and bought a jeep, but the video helped fix the issue for the 10 months I had it.

[@p0k7lm]

great Helpful video here ! Thank you so much !!🔧🔩🔨😃👍

[@globalperspectivehomeschoo127]

Thank you. I am going to go look at one now and they already put that this is a problem, so I am going to play it up so hopefully I can talk him down on price because I have to "go to a dealer" and get this looked at. LOL

[@eyeg5967]

It’s deeper than this I’ve seen this video and yes it is a fox for a while till you realize it’s the release switch when you press the break sometimes you can hear a click which is the release for the knob to go in gear the fix for this is to jimmy the plastic surrounding around the gear shift then go to the first slot coin looking whole and get a item typically a key to push down while your foot is on the break and move gear and it will release thank me later

[@justinderange4078]

Thanks man you are a lifesaver it worked for me to do you know the name of the part so I could buy the part?

[@desireewhite5714]

2001 honda accord What is the problem with the car gear pulling?

[@samuelhepburn2636]

Thanks

[@ericastier1646]

I have this problem but it is intermittent ! It works then doesn't, then works again. If i start the engine, and press the brake pedal, i can hear the click from the solenoid unlocking the gear lever but the button first remains stuck. After releasing the stuck button and pressing mildly 3 times then suddently it goes in ! Sometimes it won't go in for a minute, but eventually always will. I know the button mechanism is not the problem, because i took it off and it slides in and out without problem by itself. I think it's an alignment problem, i notice the wedged metal piece from the stick can rotate and may set itself in a bad angle. But i dont' know how to fix it. (note that 3 years ago i already replaced the button mechanism with a new one but that time it was not stuck, it was broken in pieces. This time it is no broken).

[@bignast3765]

Hey man my accord will only not go into reverse and when its in drive the rpms are really high could u let me know what could be the problems other than just replacing the whole thing??

[@eyeg5967]

Transmission problems

[@Catmissymoo]

Transaxle replacement is needed...

[@cuauhtemocjaramillo8066]

Hey Man I have a Honda Accord 2002 and it started to give me problems I already watch your video because sometimes it stuck in Park so what you can told me about the sensor in the stop pedal?

[@yaboi7253]

Check to see if your brake lights are on when your brake pedal is pressed. if they're off when the brake is pressed then you just need to replace the brake light switch. the part is only $5 and is easy to access and replace.

[@Jasjaz222]

I did all that but after i turn my car off my key wont come out of the ignition

[@juanfranciscogutierrezleyv9664]

Gracias, tenia dañado el resorte

So . . . Lotsa "sticking it in" then finish with two "screws." Gotcha 😉

[@misssonja1]

I tried that. It still would not move from park. Guess 🤔 what it was? I TURNED THE STEERING WILL. THAT IS WHAT WORKED🙄

[@jimmysapien9961]

Shift solonoid could be bad !!!!

[@poonhandler520]

100 to 200. 😆 these shotty mechanic would charge 1400. And tell you they rebuilt the transmission
