from 1988-2000 any d series engine and trans will go together, you will possibly have to use the correct clutch and fly wheel to make them work. also 1988-1991 had different engine and trans mounting points in the engine bay, but if you have the mounts for the car you are using, the d series engine and transmissions have all the same bolt holes so you can put any 88-00 engine/trans into it.
1988-1991 cars had cable operated clutches, 1992 and on had hydraulic clutches. this is a kit that allows you to put a hydraulic trans into a cable style car;
Hasport D/B/H/K-series Hydro Transmission Lever Assembly 88-91 Honda Civic/CRX - JDM Honda Parts USA - JHPUSA. it depends on how much wrench and junk yard time you want to put into it.
the d-series engines are great way to go because with very little variation all the mounting holes on blocks and trans are the same. i took a TBI obd0 1991 civic hatch, put a obd 1 ecu in it to run a mid 90's MPFI obd 1 vtec engine with an ebay aluminum flywheel and an ebay header, and a 1998 intake manifold. mix and match is the name of the game.
