Hi. Just bought a 01 Insight with non working tranny. It's my first Honda project (have owned all gen Prius but the last + a couple Mitsubishi hybrid and a Mitsu MIEV).
Have read as much as I can find on this goldmine forum and many talks about a stripped flywheel.
Description of my particular silver bullet:
1.) All gears acts like neutral, although RPM seems to go down a little in N
2.) Transmission fluid full (a little over the line, compliments of the last owner)
3.) I am getting these two error codes A) P1607 (PCM Internal Circuit failure) and B) P1885 (CVT input shaft [Drive pulley] speed sensor malfunction.
The P1607 code is most likely from the prev owner somehow disconnecting the anti theft circuit, so what I am most interested in is if you guys with 'stripped flywheel' got the same error code as me? (P1885)
I checked the voltage in all three speedsensors (and ground) and they are the same (aprox 5 volts x 2 + ground) and about 7,3 - 7,7 ohms resistance in each sensor.
The input speed sensor it calls for is about 85 USD and I don't think I can return it,if not the issue.
Will try the removing of the starter check tomorrow, but just curious if others got the same code...
