    86/87 accords with FI came with manual?

    i went to the honda dealership today to order in some parts. the guy over the counter said the 86 model didnt come with a 5 speed option at all. is this true? he told me it only came with an automatic...

    weird, maybe they didnt have that option in canada at the time? well, i went to the dealership today and the guy said that the 5MT wasnt an option when the 86/87 accord was selected. it was only 4AT, when it went to 88/89 accords it let him select 5MT. weird, atleast the parts im looking for arent year specific...

    anybody know if an 86-87 prelude with FI will have an ECU that will work with the accord? just curious, i heard they can rev a bit higher, thats why id want it for my car

    Mine is! Though thats the same one derick is refering to. I thought in Canada it was the EXi anyway, maybe not 86, I dunno. But my 86 LXi is definetly 5 speed manual.

    canada had the EXi model, but i said fuel injected cause the states has it in LXi form. either way fuel injected means the higher up trim(atleast for our cars), and thats what i meant

    86-87 prelude ecu will work just fine. the only diff between accord ecu and prelude one was that prelude ecu pulled more vacuum on distributor.
