Well code 500 is for the speed sensor which could cause most of the other codes.
I would probably replace the speed sensor in the trans and check the connections, clear the codes then drive it again and see how many codes come back.

SOURCE: my 99 dodge intrepid speed

This is the result of the Transmission Output Sensor failure. The new part is around $20. Labor ? s/b less than one hour. I had the same problem with my 1999 LHS. The dealer wanted to remove and replace the tranny for $2400. I towed it to private mech and he did the job for $200. This is a VERY FREQUENT problem with chrylser cars as many share the same sensor. The problem is usually called "Transmission going limp". Hey, if your engine starts to die and the tacho goes to zero, your crankshaft sensor is going also.

2000 Honda Accord 2.3 VTec engine, 4 cylinder, 5 speed stuck in reverse?

USA spec car in USA? not told
2.3L inline 4 banger.DOHC +VVT cam. 5sp, M/T
nor real name of the box told.
Vtec is honda name for VVT, valve variable timing, and is not a transmission part at all so is off topic if we want to do 1 at a time.
a wise idea that, leaks are your problem.as all are.
your post seem clueless, here, find a real shop and get it fixed?
vtech bad causes huge engine power loss, for sure stuck in idle mode. so lets end that here.
and talk the box, what box 5 speed is it
not told at all
honda says 5speed is a manual transmission M/T
the silly cable to it is bad.
end story, endless.
2 cables clutch release snapped i gear. makes it hard to shift if you do not move car bay hand to N./ (a trick to lean 2 man job) as all tow truck drivers know for 100 years.
shift cable bad. (or levers to it)
see this first photo , one can drop off links to that #8 part and shift the box by hand, sure can and if can the box end is good .
box means transmission box in whole.,, mech jargon.
all this is pure mechanics 101 problem shifting any M/T is.
photo 2 is lever #2 id and cable set 6
one if bad, looking only finds it as is 100% pure mechanical parts.
end to end. no brains no CPU or TCM brains here, just real gears and levers and flex steel cables that love to fail not lubed regular.

Car show message slows down while driving and not going to 2 nd gear only can work in R and D without automatic transmission to 2 nd, than 3 rd.gear

Run the fault codes as it appears the CPU is putting the car into limp / reduced power mode because of a sensor finding that may be detrimental to the engine /gear box.

P1705: Short in Transmission Range Switch Circuit.
So you changed the switch but didn't fix the short in the circuit. Check the wiring harness or connector for a short. Follow the harness and look for chaffed insulation or rubbing.

My transmission does not shift it stays in one gear and the check engine lights on

if it is stuck in low gear suspect a speed sensor issue.If it is stuck in a higher gear such as 2nd or 3rd you will need to retrieve codes from the trans computer to diagnose.

The output speed sensor is located on top of the transmission output shaft, this will send speed value to the transmission control module (TCM).
The vehicle speed sensor is installed on the differential of the transmission, and sends speed value to speed gauge on instrument cluster.

Check also IAC valve and look for vacuum leaks using an hand tool gauge(Vacuum Gauge and Fuel Pump Pressure).
