Have you tried replacing the bulbs? Also, you can grab a multimeter and see if there is voltage when you have the bright lights on.
I might be misreading, but your English is very confusing due to no punctuation and it being a run-on sentence.

Thanks for the reply. I had checked and nothing was catching on anything. I did like you recommended in your Focus clutch video and move everything out of the way so it didn’t catch any wires/cables and possible destroy anything. But maybe something slipped and caught. I have no idea, if it did or not. xD
Well, I always checked the alignment of the clutch using the alignment tool. Though, I don’t know if it would move the clutch up or down when the pressure plate is torqued to spec 19 lbf/ft. But it’s a possibility. A couple of the times I didn’t get it in it could have, because I couldn’t pull the clutch out and had to remove the pressure plate just to get the transmission to drop (twice this happened).
I do have the transmission flushed on the engine right now and about to put the transmission mount back on once my parts come in at the Honda dealership.
Since the transmission and everything is on. The engine rotates and the flywheel spins perfectly fine, but I’m assuming that it’s a little pressure rotating, guessing the spark plugs are doing it? I haven’t put the starter back in yet.
I had forgotten to remove the slave cylinder from the lines and only removed the nut holding the slave cylinder (the line that’s hard) from the elbow (don’t know what it’s called) that connects to the rubber clutch line. But removed the bolt that holds the line to the transmission. When I was trying to move it back into place. It would catch on things. So I had to remove the bolt and brake fluid was leaking and whatnot. Not really that much to be honest. Since I introduced air into the lines possibility. I know I will have to bleed the clutch lines (which I planned on it anyway since it needs one). When bleeding it. Will it still allow me to check to make sure the transmission goes into gear? Will I have to do the bleeding first or can I get by with it to check if it goes into all the gears? Sorry, if this sounds confusing.

Check and see if it was replaced. If not, then you will need to replace it. It’s usually every 10 years or (100,000 miles/60,000 miles). If you live in a cold climate area. It’s 60,000 miles. It’s about $400 in parts if you buy them from like hondapartsnow.com or about $600-$1000 depending on the dealership. If you have to do it. Make sure all the belts, all the seals, water pump, etc. is done. Because it’s not worth the job twice, because you forgot to do the seals and they started leaking, etc.
I’m not sure about automatic transmissions. I’m guessing the fluid should be changed every 100,000 miles to 135,000 miles. I can be wrong. Make sure you check the fluid to see if it’s still normal. Google for the maintenance manual for the car. See if you can get receipts for the work done for it. Check the car fully over. Check for oil leaks, axles, missing bolts, etc. Because I forgot to check for that stuff and I had to dump over $1500. It’s better be safe than sorry down the line.

I would say get a Honda Civic, CRX, Prelude (avoid the automatic versions). They are pretty easy to work on. I’ve worked on my Prelude with not much experienced, but had help with other Prelude owners and the service manual.

Thank you for the reply. I managed to get the transmission installed. I just rotating the engine like it should be done and the transmission slipped in. It didn’t exactly flush, but I had no trouble getting the bolts in when I tightened each bolt in carefully a little at a time and it married fine. The engine spins fine except the little stops due to the spark plugs (iirc spark plugs causes it to hesitate a little due to the compression? correct me if I’m wrong) then softly spins. So I’m guessing the transmission is flushed and installed correctly.
The only thing I worry about is the TOB. I just hope it didn’t pop off the fork, because I don’t wanna take that transmission off again and find out it was on the whole time. xD I’m not exactly experienced with cars. I’m learning as I go and trying to get better at it and more knowledgeable working on cars. I have the helms manual next to me and it’s really really helpful.
