I THINK IT IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRCAL PROBLEM , IT IS THE ELECTRIC SHIFT THAT STOPS WORKING. BEFOR THAT IS SHIFTS FINE . ALSO NO CODES IN THE ECM....UNPLUG THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MIN IT STARS SHIFTING AGAIN/...

Not a Honda specialist but sounds like an electrical problem if it works after a battery reset.

Must be module that controls it or the acuator is sticking.

Turn the key off and on several times, it usually works. If reverse is a problem, there is a connector underneath the trans that looks like a sparkplug wire, take it off, clean it, and put it back on.
