You can keep it auto but plan to change soon if you are looking for HP. As far as the computer, there are some you can use and when you change to a 5 speed you can still use the same computer. I think it is the la2 but someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I think the LB2/LB3 were from auto TCs, not the LA-series comps.
