Unhappy 95 Civic Ex B18b1 Swap

My first guess from what you described is not the clutch or transmission, but just that the engine runs very badly. Check the timing. A sudden decrease in performance could mean the timing belt skipped. If the belt did skip, it's likely damaged, so replace with a new one. Also check if a spark plug wire came unplugged.
