Default n00b Trans Swap Question

I'm posting a really basic question that I'm sure has been covered before. Sorry. When I search about transmission swaps the consensus seems to be that all D-series transmissions will interchange. That being said...

I'd like to swap an HX trans from an EK coupe into my EG Sedan LX with D15B7. Are there any issues with this swap? Axles, speed sensor, etc.?

The purpose is to utilize the more economical gear ratio of the HX trans, plus going from a 240k tranny to a 140k tranny.

It's from a 97-ish HX Civic with 2 doors, not a hatchback. I guess you just call it an HX?

Great, thanks for putting my mind at ease.

Good call on the VIN, I'll look it up.

Ziggy my hero, listening to reason, swapping to the more fuel efficient option vs OMGSPEED.

uhh... tech somewhere... Yes! D-series interchangeable!

Yes, low gears are for my 4Runner and high gears are for my commuter.

If there was an easy way to downgrade to 8 valves rather than 16 I'd probably do that too

Assuming its all 5 speed manuals and not autotragics then yes it'll be fine.
