hah I'm a trained monkey in the garage. My grand father shows me how to do something and then when it shows up in the shop I have to do it. . .
Naturally they teach me the really crappy jobs. . .like electrical problems lol. Meanwhile they work on V8 48 flatheads. . .
To the subject at hand. . .get a Civic trans and if you can't do it yourself get a mechanic to do it and ask them ahead of time if they can do it. Some will say no because of time constraints so don't get it till you find a way to get it in.
Also, make sure you snap pictures of your trans top and bottom bolts and mounts when you go to buy the trans from the salvage yard. Look at it compare the pictures and make sure its going to fit. If its a true blue import civic it might be different year and edition pending. Also someone could have already swapped it out for something else. In effect if everything looks like it fits it probably does. If you want to get really serious, get some cardboard and cut out the mounts in your car and take that and then place it over the mounts on the trans, I do this for rebuilt or imported engines, because you never know when someone lied along the way.
