Do automatics have a separate computer like the only 90-92 accords do? If so where is the computer located?

Automatics are controlled by the ecu.

So for instance on a manual tranny swap you need to change to a manual ecu...

It is in the passenger side kick panel. Give me just a sec. I will go take some pics.

You have to pull off the trim piece in the door threshold and pull out the kick panel by your feet on the passenger side. There are two 10mm bolts holding it in a very easy spot to get to

EDIT: here are some pics

Thanks!! I appreciate your help..

No problem! Don't mind my dust. It is there to strategically balance weight in my car

wow, i didnt know there was a seperate computer for an auto. Where does it plug? Into the ecu?

Yeah no kidding....there's a separate computer? since when?

yes there's a separate computer for auto trannies. Most of the connectors from the AT tranny control unit connects to the solenoids on the tranny where it reads hydraulic pressure and the two alternate speed sensors(in addition to the speed sensor that connects to your speedo gauge).
