it would have to come from a 92-95 civic and im not sure if it all will just bolt up. you will have to do some research to find out. but you will have to remove the entire cable clutch system, and pedal. and find a manual 92-95 civic and take the clutch pedal, master cylinder, all the lines, fluid canister, the slave cylinder. also i believe the cv axles are different on a 88-91(cable trans) to a 92-95(hydrolic trans). i suggest just keeping it cable and find a cable trans.

The big motor mount on the end of the transmission is also different if you go to a later model transmission.
