Have a 97 Accord SE, Started the other day with no reverse when my son left school. Now we still only have drive. When you shift from park it makes a clunking sound and the motor/trans lean backward in the engine bay. Also the motor will not rev above 1500 rpms in any gear. I have checked the cable/linkage and it is move through all of the gears at the trans and fluid level is good. I am worried that maybe the converter is locked up or broken main shaft but hoping for an easy fix. Any ideas on what to look at next?

 

have you scanned for codes

 

No codes pertaining to the transmission. I have some emission codes P0441,505,170,171.

 

Still no luck finding an answer. I Have tested the Lockup solenoid and it reads 14.2 ohms. I am understanding that 12-25 is normal. The car seems as though it is stuck between park and reverse and not letting the trans free. Any additional things to look at before pulling the trans?
