Default Quick OBD1 ECU Question

im pretty sure the computer on my 91 lx is bad. looking to replace. its a pt3.

mine (automatic) is model: 37820-pt3-a53

standard transmission models listed as : 37820-pt3-a03

will either one of these work okay, since there is a separate Trans Control Unit? or do i need to get one for the automatic?

any other hondas or acuras have one that will work?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

a local junk yard has a compatible car, but im just wondering if the computer will work, even if its a different year and transmission.

thanks

come on guys, i know this is an easy one!

junk yard has the computer, but act reluctant to sell it to me. every time i call its a new question, instead of asking all needed info in the first place.

"what year's the car?"
"automatic or 5 spd?"
"LX or EX?"

i told the guy that im pretty sure that any from 90-93 will work, since there is a separate trans computer.

i guess (from what i can gather) that the donor car is a 90 model w/ a 5 spd.

will it work?
