Dober has a good DIY in another thread though. Hopefully a moderator or someone can add it to the DIY section as this topic has come up multiple times.

Detaching the tranny from the block
1.) Remove battery tie down, battery and battery tray (little metal tray held on with 4 bolts)
2.) Remove the ground wire from the bracket on the tranny
3.) Disconnect the slave cylinder line from the same bracket on the tranny
4.) Disconnect the shift linkage from the top of the tranny
5.) Disconnect the sensor on the top of the tranny (think it's the speed sensor) and the sensor towards the back of the tranny
6.) Remove the starter
7.) Remove the 4 bolts and tranny bracket holding the tranny to the passenger side upper motor mount
8.) Drain tranny fluid
9.) Jack up the car and separate the ball joints so you can remove the axles
10.) Loosen all of the tranny bolts that attach the tranny to the block
11.) Secure the engine with a lift or a jack
12.) Remove the bolts attaching the tranny to the lower front and rear motor mounts
13.) Remove all of the tranny bolts you previously loosened
At this point you should be able to separate the tranny from the block. Slide it over to the left and secure it so you can start pressure plate and disc removal.
To uninstall the pressure plate and disc
1.) Remove the 12 point bolts around the outer perimeter of the pressure plate
2.) Remove the pressure plate and disc
3.) Place the new disc against the flywheel and push the alignment tool through the center of it to ensure that it is lined up
4.) Slide the new pressure plate over the alignment tool and use the 12 point bolts you removed earlier to lock it down. You might want to use loctite on these bolts and make sure you torque them to spec.
5.) Remove the alignment tool
6.) Use needle nose pliers to remove the old throwout bearing from the tranny and install the new one using assembly lube
7.) Since the tranny was secured off to the side, unsecure it and slide it back in place. Be patient with this step it helps to have someone turning the crank at the crank pulley when trying to line it up.
Of course you will need to do everything in reverse order from above to reinstall the tranny. Don't forget to fill the tranny with new Honda tranny fluid.

Rep Power: 0 No problem man! I thought of taking pictures when swapping my motor but I kept having to wash my hands everytime I wanted to use my camera so I gave up on that.
Let us know how your tranny swap goes. If you take pictures and make a DIY that would be cool too!

Didn't you buy a Honda Civic service manual?
If not I can look at mine when I get home this evening. I'll post up how to do it unless someone beats me to it.

I know how you feel though. You want to have that bisch back together as soon as you can. I was the same way when I did mine.
Sorry we couldn't help you more,
Good luck!
