I have an automatic 95 Civic EX and I'm trying to take the stock motor out right now so that I can do a swap. I've got every bolt out but I don't know how to remove the shifter cable. Does anyone that has removed the stock motor before know how to do it? I need some help. Thanks.

 

On the bottom of the transmission, there's a bunch of 12mm bolts surrounding the shift cable, remove those bolts, then you'll see the cable connect to a lever, there's a 10mm bolts with a metal tab that holds the cable to the lever. Bend the tab up and take the bolt out, then the cable can be removed.
