In my planning for a DIY transmission swap (I also have no experience) here are a few videos I found that will walk you through parts of the process. I'm using them to give myself a visual sense of what you can expect. I think a patient person with good intelligence and the time could do the job, probably without error, if you seek and absolutely follow good direction, even when you don't fully know why it should be followed (such as replacing seals and washers even when they "look fine"). Three useful videos:
one
, two, three. These are sixth gen civics and your 1994 is fifth gen, but much of the hardware is about the same, if not exactly the same... so I hope this is useful. Good luck!!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
