any d series transmission will work. preferrably a transmission from a d16y8. if you can't get one of those, the next best one would be d16z6. then after that there's the d16y7, and d15b7 trannys. then, with the longest gearing you have the d16y5 and d15b8.

you need a P2P ecu (the same one you have) but it has to be for a manual transmission car.
well for sure the 99-00 civic pedals will fit. 96-98 very likely (someone will have to confirm this), and 92-95 might fit too (someone will have to also confirm this)
