you should be able to drop it in without having to modify anything. Just use the stuff from the old motor, it will all swap over to the new one.

You wont have to do anything with the O2 sensor. The CX is a 1 wire setup, so is the P08 ECU. For the Vtec wiring you will need to run 2 wires, plus a ground. Please see the pinout below.

Only the 1992 Cx is, along with all other 92 Civics, regardless of trim level.

From 93-95 the CX, DX, and LX all have to be wired for VTEC, which is only two wires, so it's not a big deal.

ok, how exactly do you "blow a tranny"?? anyway, the best tranny for you would be a 92-95 si tranny sure it's not the clutch you wore out? you sure it's the transmission itself?!

You break the diff pin, differential blows a hole in the side of the case.

Did you look at it at all yet? The axle probably just popped out (it wont come right out and fall on the ground, it just backs out about an inch or so)
