Default 1996 accord manual transmission problems

I'm having problems with the transmission it won't go into 1st or 3rd gear it only engages 2nd 4th and 5th and once it engages one gear it won't disengage I have to go in the hood and move a little piece under the air intake to get it back into neutral idk what could be wrong I was thinking of changing the whole transmission but I hope I don't have to it also makes a weird scraping noise when its idling in low rpms like under 1500

The weird scraping noise is likely the input shaft bearing going bad or is bad. It's likely the tranny is low on fluid and is causing the conponents to burn up and is likely beyond repair at this point.

So I will have to replace the transmission then I thought the shifting problem was the shifter cables

No cables, Honda Automotive Parts

I agree that it is either the input shaft bearing or it may be a shifter fork, or both either way your rebuilding or replacing. 94

It is possible to have a bent shifter fork so give it a good look over when you pull the tranny. Keep us posted how much fluid drains out. I'm curious.

Do us a favor and post in complete sentences...not trying to be an as$hole but you will get more responses if it's easy to read.

The scraping noise is probably the input bearing which you will need to split the case to replace. If it's not that bad, the shifting problem may be a worn shifter, worn cables, or a bent shift fork. I would get a helper in the car to move the shifter to 1st and 3rd while you watch the shift arm.
