I have a 2000 accord EX I just replaced the transmission less than 2 months ago and it was shifting perfect. Fast forward to this weekend and the motor ate the timing belt. Replaced the motor and bolted my trans back up to it..... now it won't shift out of second I checked all the connections and filled the transmission back up w/ honda ATF.

Now my question is this..... when placing the transmission back onto the motor require any special way of putting on the Torque converter?? I just made sure it was all the way on the input shaft on the transmission bolted the tranny back on lined up the flex plate and tightened it down..... did I do something incorrect? I don't have the Factory service manual for this car so I am not sure if I skipped a step. Please someone let me know if they have a link to one or if they can pm me some info. Thanks

If the motor / trans tightened up, then thats not the problem. You most likely have an adjustment issue with the shift control cable.
Will the shift selector move all the way to the lowest position?
It sounds like the shift cable is saying to the trans D(2) while selecting something else.
Sorry, it's late at night; but it well be worth looking at, particularly where the cable mounts to the trans.

that was my first thought..... but i can shift all way down to first..... p-r-n-d4-d3-2-1 all work.

 

I kinda remember something about shift solenoids..... those pesky things controlled by the TCM (Honda's got a computer for everything). I'd recheck the electrical connections to the solenoid assemblies which reside near the Converter Housing. Possibly came adrift.
They (shift solenoids) also have filter screens; ment to catch any debris which might have circulated. They can clog under certain conditions.
You obviously did it right to begin with, it's now a job to determine what went screwy.

does anyone have a layout/diagram to which solenoids do what?
