I think time related transitions are words like first, then, next, afterwards, later, etc. Thought related ones are like what you listed. Use a comma after the transition word.

On the contrary, in contrast, on the other hand = use this when you are going to argue witht he previous sentence.

Likewise = you are going to say something is the same as in the previous sentence

for instance = for example. You are going to give some detail now.

Hope this helps.

All i have is the meaning of "on the contrary" use when contrasting something like My friend has a chocolate cake, but on the contrary i have a vanilla cake.
"on the other hand" Justin said the book is over there. On the other hand, Molly said it's over here.
Go online it should tell you how to use commas. Like after "on the other hand" im not sure if u use a comma or not. It might be considered an introductory phrase...look that up in google. But dont use a comma after like Furthermore. Most of the time if the transition is at the beg. of the sentence i think u would use a comma.
