Manual Transmissions
Manual transmissions, or, as they are sometimes called, standard transmissions, use an operator-activated clutch assembly and gear selector lever to change gears.
The operator is in complete control of the gear selected, and when that gear is selected. This is what makes a manual transmission manual. Manual transmissions are often considered less complicated than their automatic counterparts; I would agree with that. It’s much easier to repair a manual transmission than an automatic. Manual transmission issues can really be broken down into two parts: clutch problems and transmission problems. Finding out which one you have is the first step to your repair.

I have a 97 accord dx, manual transmission. I recently put another transmission on there with new fly wheel and clutch. I’m not able to go into 1,3,5 but can 2,5,R. New slave cylinder and master. Sometimes gets stuck. Any kind of advise will be helpful. This car is my daily and don’t have the funds to purchase another vehicle.

I’m replacing my clutch on my 2002 Ford Focus ZX3 & the plastic cover & components are on the backside instead of the front side.
How do you recommend that I continue taking down the transmission without damaging those cables?
