I'll follow Wikipedia's terminology: If $f:V\to W$ is a linear map, then the transpose (or dual) $f^*:W^*\to V^*$ is defined by $f^*(\varphi)=\varphi\circ f.$
The first question is: Give an example of a linear map between two vectors spaces such that the transpose is bijective but the original map is neither 1-1 nor onto.
There are no such examples. Indeed, in the above notation, if $f:V\to W$ is not injective, then $f^*:W^*\to V^*$ is not surjective, because the image of $f^*$ consists of those linear forms on $V$ which vanish on $\ker f$. Similarly, if $f$ is not surjective, then $f^*$ is not injective, because the kernel of $f^*$ consists of those linear forms on $W$ which vanish on $f(V)$.
Another question was added in the comments: Are there still no examples if, instead of vector spaces, we consider modules over a commutative ring $R$ with identity?
Such examples exist. A cheap one is given by setting $R=\mathbb Z$, $V=W=\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$, $f=0$.
EDIT. In fact we have canonical isomorphisms
(1) $\text{Ker}(f^*)=\text{Coker}(f)^*$ and $\text{Coker}(f^*)=\text{Ker}(f)^*$.
This can bee seen as follows:
(2) If
$ 0\to A\overset{i}{\to}V\overset{f}{\to}W\overset{p}{\to}B\to0 $ and 0\to A'\overset{i'}{\to}V\overset{f}{\to}W\overset{p'}{\to}B'\to0 are exact sequences of $K$-vector spaces, then there is a unique linear map a:A\to A', and a unique linear map b:B\to B' such that i'\circ a=i and b\circ p=p'. Moreover $a$ and $b$ are bijective. The proof is easy.
(3) We have the exact sequences $\begin{matrix} 0\to&\text{Ker}(f)&\overset{i}{\to}V\overset{f}{\to}W\overset{p}{\to}&\text{Coker}(f)&\to0,\\ \\ 0\to&\text{Coker}(f)^*&\overset{p^*}{\to}W^*\overset{f^*}{\to}V^*\overset{i^*}{\to}&\text{Ker}(f)^*&\to0,\\ \\ 0\to&\text{Ker}(f^*)&\to W^*\overset{f^*}{\to}V^*\to&\text{Coker}(f^*)&\to0. \end{matrix} $ Then (1) follows from (2) and (3).
