You need to scroll the whole transcript down to the end first (so it loads completely), then mark a word at the end or beginning and hold the left mouse button.

Alternative: If you use Firefox, then you can quickly install an Add-on to do this with one click: Go to Extras - Add-ons and search Mozilla for "transcript" Or just click this link:

Then you see a list of different tools (some may work, some might be old/outdated, take one with many good reviews and latest update.
Example:

Install one and you have a new button on the Youtube interface which you can click...
Maybe also available in other Browsers -I don't know
In Firefox there are so many cool tools...
