    Default help finishing conversion

    ok a couple of months ago i did a 5-speed conversion on my 96 accord lx. (got the tranny out of a 95 EX) ok so everything works great but my son was born right befor i got finished so i still haven't changed the cluster or computer. i have a few ideas but i don't kno which is best? 1. just keep it in there and let it be (annoying d4 light blinking and it thinks it's always in park lol. it's funny to switch the little gear selector to reverse at a redlight and act like i'm gonna launch it and watch the car behind me back up lol........ ok only once...) 2. find the ecu out of a 96-97 5-speed accord..(will it just plug in or what kind of changes are required.. there are 2 plugs on my ecu and if im correct one is for the engine and the other was for the auto trans???) 3. i have a wrecked and stripped 95 accord beside the house (need to scrap) but has a computer and in 94-95 they had 2 computers.. a ecm and a tcm (transmission control management) but it's obd1 and mine is obd2.......i think i'd have to change distributors correct? and that car was auto as well so would it be ok? i dout it but i'm still gonna ask. also if anyone has a descent header lemme kno i need one. or underdrive pulleys.....any help is greatly appreciated

    but since the odb computers were different. like one just for engine and one just for trans.. would the ecm be interchangeable (exact same setup right?)
