1999 Honda Passport Problems?

So I have a 1999 Honda Passport. I got it from a used car dealer (yeah I'm stupid) and it has a lot of problems with the transmission. I read in the manuel that the car has detected a problem in the transmission, and it's been going into backup mode, where the gears don't shift automatically. The question I'm asking is how to shift the gears while I'm driving. The two gears I would be using would be 2 for speeds between 15 mph and 50 mph, and L for starting from a stop or going on hills. It's probably an obvious question but I'm an 18 year old girl who's never owned a car before, so I just need to know specifically how to switch between those gears while driving. This includes going from 2 to L for a stop and for a hill. It would be much appreciated!

Is maruti Suzuki Ritz a good option to drive in ooty for 5 members?

We're planning to visit ooty this weekend by opting suzuki Ritz… But few people suggested not to take Ritz as its engine may not be capable of driving atr those slopes etc… So please suggest Ritz or Honda city? These two only available. All other cars are booked…

My car cranks but won't start? - 1

My car has been stalling lately. It's not my battery. Sometimes it would happen when I was still. Then it started happening when I was driving and became a little scary. What always happened was that I would wait a few minutes and it would start up.
Today, it didn't turn on at all and just cranks. What could my problem be? I just changed an air filter in the front.

Added (1). It's a 2000 Honda.

@ Ellen, yes the lights come on.
The meter that your talking about, is it the handheld one that can tell any issues with the vehicle? Cuz my friend can probably get that to check my car, since it still won't start.

I can't figure out this misfire issue on my 2000 acura/honda integra gsr?

So last time it was misfiring bad the misfire will not stop and i changed the spark plug on cylinder 2 even though it was brand new which was weird but after i changed it ran fine for a week, now recently i went to get a car wash and they did undercarriage and now it wants to start to missfire again. When the engine is cold it missfires but then it goes away but it has hesitation under heavy load. I'm guessing that water gets into the cylinder i don't know where i'm not losing cooland. I bought a new aftermarket distributer and bought ngk cables and oem fuel filter and air filter the only thing i have not done is change the oil. What do you guys suggest i should do.In addition i have no check engine lights and i'm running obd2 to obd1 jumper harness so i have an obd1 ecu on a ob2 car.

Do car dealerships reuse used parts like windshields?

HI I'm planning to get my windshield replaced by a Honda dealership and it's gonna cost around $200. I was wondering if they were going to install a used windshield because I've heard of higher prices for installing windshields. Is it because my car is old? I drive a 2001 Honda Prelude base model.
