Best Answer

Under the dashboard implies a column shift. This would mean a mechanical linkage. If so there is a connection on the steering column just outside the firewall in the engine compartment, a rod down to the frame and another rod to the transmission. At any one of these points there is a hard plastic or brass bushing. The rod may have come out of the bushing, the bushing worn or missing. The entire length of the shift rod should be visible and worn or broken point found.

95 Honda accord lx drivers door wont open?

you have a few possibilities. the linkage could be disconnected on the handle, you could have broken linkage from the handle to the latch or your lock linkage could be disconnected while it is in the lock position. all of these can be accessed from the interior door trim panel. to get the door open you will probably have to remove the interior screws while the door is closed and pull back the panel as far as you can. be careful not to break it but you should be able to reach the linkage and open the door from inside the door frame

Why won't the transmission shift into high gear?

It depends on the type of transmission. If it is a manual transmission, the first thing to check would be the linkage. If the linkage is not the problem, then it could be the bushings or the synchronizer. If it is an automatic transmission, then it could be a problem with the bands, though you could have debris in the valve body or a servo problem. In some cases, linkage bearings could be an issue.
