My 95 coupe auto held up pretty well :)

PUT A COOLER ON IT THOUGH AND NEW FLUID before raggin on it.

There are a few people I know of running Civic ECU's in auto Accords (also have a TCM/TCU), so I'd say you'll be ok. I don't think you'd need/want an auto ECU though. The TCU handles all the shift up/down and converter lockup functions... so the auto Civic ECU would have nothing to do. The Accord/Lude does tie into the TCU on a couple pins (as I recall they're labeled EXPECT shift UP/DOWN) which prolly (if it works like DSM's etc) just tells the ECU to cut back timing for a couple seconds while it shifts.. to be easier on the tranny.

Yeah my delsol was a automatic running a 14b.It ran fine, except the lock up solenoid's didn't work.I was running a 5 speed ecu tho.If your car has its own ecu to run the tranny than, i do not see why it would not work.All the d series auto trannys are ran by cable to throttle linkage (except i think 96-2000)i know for a fact 88-95 do.The lock up solenoid are read by the ecu, since we civics don't have a tcu.Just convert the p06 into manual 5 speed and chip it.

on accord/preludes, you can run a chipped p06 on uberdata 1.7 repack 2.2 and 1.6 without a problem.

reason is, they have tcu's, which operate somewhat separate from the ecu.

As far as I know...the best way to do this is to run an AUTO P75 ECU because it was actually originally designed to work with an Auto TCU.

The Auto P06 ECUs were never ran with Auto TCUs...

There was a post in this forum by SQ_Squad or something with a decent little write-up on doing it.

FWIW, all ECUs, auto or manual basically run the same code...jumpers in the ECU tell it if the ECU is auto or manual and what to look for where. Auto Code / Manual Code...its all the same.
