Your best bet is to google and download the civic factory service manual, here are the steps without pics

No harder then removing a 5mt just have a few more things to unclip ie: shift sol plug trans cooling hoses to rad. and any d-series auto trans should work afaik.

Its not hard, just remember to unbolt the torque converter from the flex plate before lowering the transmission.

no it won't....what ever point the ECU tells it to shift at that's what it will do. the trans it's self could care less what point it shifts up/down. Don't know were you heard that that's like saying raising the VTEC engagement point will set off a CEL.

I'm not 100% on Honda autos but I know GM auto computers are very sensitive and will get pissed off very quickly if the VSS signal and trans input shaft speed don't jive with what the ECU is expecting.
So my advice to the OP, get the proper tranny for the car.
Also factory service manuals are available at shweet.org.

Re: Need some help Swapping out a 2000 civic tranny
The TCU is integrated into the ECU. Using an LX auto in an EX will throw a shift solenoid malfunction light, and may also throw a torque converter lockup light. If you use an LX ECU, your car won't run correctly at all. When replacing automatic transmissions, you must match gear ratios, which means matching chassis codes.

You're wrong. You've been proven wrong about this.
