1997 Honda Accord 2.7 engine, backs up, will not go in Drive? Is transmission shot, or could it be a sensor or ? Also where can i get a shared or free online repair manual?

This car is known for bad Instrument Clusters. Not to say that it is out of the question that your speed sensor could be bad... But 75% of the time it is the Cluster in the 1996-1997 Accord.. Car Part com Used Auto Parts Market

Please explain what type of problem you are having with the vehicle. There is no such thing as a transmission blower sensor on this car.

Vehicle speed sensor. This runs the odometer/speedometer. Top of tranny, a cable runs all the way to the back of the odometer.

It might not be a direct swap. Engine codes changed a little along with displacement. Not sure what else may have changed too. If the engine code was the same, then it would likely be a direct drop-in, but now I would wonder about engine mounts, transmission adapters, wiring harness, sensors, etc.

You'll have to have the trans pulled and rebuilt

With all that slipping, it is beyond any other fix

i'm sorry i'm not familiar with your vehicle, but a general answer would be either on your shifter assembly, which you'd have to remove the center console trim to access, OR on your transmission near the shifter linkage.

think its on the gearbox diff unit

Check fluid to make sure there is enough fluid in there if there is, then if there is then you may have a bigger problem like a transmission problem or a bad torque conver. check that out and get back to me if you need more help. Good Luck and thanks for using FIX YA.

Try checking transmission oil, top it off or have it changed. If still not fixed go to autozone or similar and have them hook it up to a machine that will diagnose problems to make sure it isn't just a faulty sensor or something. It is transmission related so don't just let it go.

HI..
The Speed sensor on your Honda Accord 97.
Is located on the Transmission.
If you follow the Lower Radiator hose from the rad to the engine.
The hose end on the Thermostat housing.
OK.. Just on direction of the thermostat housing .
Under the housing you Will see on the transmission the Speed sensor, with a connector of 3 wires. Is the only sensor at this
Part of the Transmission..

Ok. I hope this work on your question.
