I recently bought a 99 honda accord with "bad trans" After looking at it I found that the output shaft seal was leaking and the trans had no fluid in it. The previous owner said he replaced the trans with a junk yard one but it was no good. Before I installed the trans I bought for it I figured I would replace the seal and fill it up with fluid just to be sure it was bad. I fixed the seal and filled the trans with dextron III fluid ( I know I should use honda but didnt want to waste the money if it was no good). The transmission shift very well in all the forward gears but I cannot get reverse to engage. Also when in neutral it acts like its almost halfway in drive. Any ideas on other things to check before I replace it?

It actually goes forward in every gear but park and has p1738 code

1738 is for the second clutch pressure switch....pull it and be sure the port is clean and the inside of the switch.....heck take the one from the JY trans and install it and see what you have from there
