    I'm thinking of buying either a used or new Honda Accord '91
    Transmission Control Unit and I'm not finding many on line suppliers.
    Does any one have a good on line vendor for new or used ones?
    Also aside from the dealer's parts dept. , does anyone know if local
    auto parts suppliers carry stuff like this ? I'd rather buy locally
    but not have to pay Honda's $500 for the new part.

    Also can anyone verify if the part number I got from one dealer is
    valid for a 1991 Accord automatic 4 cyl (sedan LX) . They told me the
    transmission control unit ( aka TCM) part number was 28100PX4823 but
    on one on line vendor I did find, they listed the same part number
    except the last two digits were reversed so I'm not sure if I got bad
    info or not. I may call another dealer to verify but I'd rather ask
    here.

    Have a look at this page:

    Excerpt:

    PARTS INFORMATION

    Automatic Transmission Control Unit
    Japan-built EX: P/N 281 00-PX4-932
    H/C 3523933

    Japan-built LX & DX: P/N 281 00-PX4-922
    H/C 3520269

    US-built EX: P/N 281 00-PX0-932
    H/C 3521 796

    US-built LX & DX: P/N 28100-PX0-922
    H/C 3521788


    But personally, I would recommend just getting a TCU from a local junkyard.
    It costs much less and works just fine. I had to replace the TCU on my '91
    Accord several years ago. The Honda dealer told me that this part had to be
    ordered from Honda and it would take several months for it to arrive.
    Alternatively, they told me if I could get the part from a junk yard, they
    would install it for me. I did that - got a '90 Accord TCU from a junk yard
    (apparently the TCU's on '90 and '91 Accord seem to be interchangeable) and
    it's been working fine since.

    HTH,
