Looks like its suppose to align a specific way. Did you make sure?

QuangNguyen_89616

I did. I can't seem to make it go in..

Okay, so I manage to like.... pound it in. It still seem like the shifter still get stuck down reverse position if I press it down. I think I will need part #7

I learned the hard way to ONLY use Honda Super High Temperature Urea grease on all of the grease points associated with the transmission. Yes the stuff from the auto parts store will work but not for very long....I had to drop my transmission and redo the grease points with super high temp urea grease after only 10,000 miles due to the failure of the regular high temp grease I tried to use. This was in the release bearing and release bearing guide area that gave me trouble and may not be as critical in the shifter area but why skimp on something as critical as transmission and shifting? YMMV

I was going to suggest that lack of lubrication might make the shifter feel poorly but I don't know what would prevent it from engaging reverse. There must be something else wrong in there. All that rust and crud doesn't look like it's a result of a spilled cup of water. I think there are other issues at work there.

Stick a long screwdriver into the housing and see if you can move the shift rod forward and backwards.

do you expect good results pounding it in? just curious.
