Any '92 - '00 D-series transmission will work (this includes all '92 - '00 civics and Del Sols, except the '99 - '00 Civic Si, and the '94 - '97 Del Sol VTEC)
Lots of people have bolted 1992-1995 trannys onto 1996-00 engines. It is an identical part. I did it 16 months ago on this my daily driver, put a 1993 CX trans on my 1998 DX engine. It really could not be simpler. Look at my chart that Daox linked above. I promise. I checked all details against the factory service manuals and/or multiple other sources. If you can find errors, let me know and I'll edit the tables.

I see those temps sometimes too. My rad fan will come on occasionally in the low 200 range and bring it back down to 194. I have even seen 217 spikes when I cut the engine (and therefore the fan) at the end of a long hard climbs.

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.
