If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: 96 honda not shifting

Fluid full?
Fluid doesn't look red anymore?

Internal strainer/filter is full of debris and starves the pump.
Shut the engine off, debris falls away from the filter and the trans works again when you start the engine....for a little while.

Time for a trans.
