This question has been dealt with in here.

The problem you are having is the TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) which is located next to the ECU on the passenger floor ... under the carpet. When you pull the carpet back you will see a metal panel that houses the ECU and TCM. You need to remove the 4 nuts that hold it to the floor (you will me a deep 10mm socket to accomplish this). Once you have the 4 connectors unhooked and the assembly out ... you will see the 2 items I am speaking of. The SMALLER of the 2 is the TCM.

You can pick one up at a junkyard for around $100 (usually). You can get one out of either a 1990 or 1991 Accord DX / LX / EX. The only difference in them is the shift points and they are so minute that you will never even notice it.

I have enclosed a picture of where it is located and which one you will need to change.
