I have not done such a swap of a single gear, but I suspect it will swap without issue because so many of the elements are made swapable on the 1992-2000 transmissions. There should be no trouble with the linkage: they're both hydro, correct? It should be an identical set up. The accuracy of your speedometer cannot be affected by the fifth gear alone. There is a speedometer gear in the transmission. Across the 1992-2000 Civic transmissions those gears are the same size, though some are black and some are white. Wheel/tire size alone will change speedo readings relative to what you are used to, though in general the Civics appear to overestimate speed and underestimate distance by factory design.
Do you read honda-tech.com? It is a great site for such questions, though you get lots of haters and snarks. The smart ones are there and they can sometimes save the day.
But remember to get the FSM for each model and research this extensively. People are wrong sometimes.
