swapping 02 tranny for 04 tranny civic
 

hey guys,
it seems like my automatic transmission is going, as i am not getting any power from it especially when going up hills. it tends to slow down even thou the engine is revving. if i should change to lower gear i don't get any power from it. the rpm remain stable the speedometer remains at a constant speed at which i enter the slope.
so I'm considering changing the tranny and putting in a newer one preferably a 04 if i can get it. what considerations would i have to bear in mind when doing this. remember i'm sticking to automatic.

Nothing changed as far as I know from 01-04 civic tranny. Should have no problems at all swapping it.
