Its the same tranny. All 5th gen D-series automatics use 1 of 2 transmissions:

M24A -> All automatic D-series Civics and Del Sols from '92 - '94
A24A -> All automatic D-series Civics and Del Sols for '95

DX/LX/EX all used the same tranny as far as the automatics go, manuals are an entirely different story.

I've been wrong before, and i'll probably be wrong again. Most of what I post on H-T, in regards to '92 - '95 civics anyway is based on personal expirences working on them, many of them, and often. Some info is taken from highly knowledgeable individuals who have over time proven they normally know what they are talking about (Katman for instance for wiring info and ECU pinouts, and NOFX for her wealth of 6th gen civic knowledge, there are others too numerous to mention) Still other info is taken from service manuals, wiring diagrams and technical service bulletins.
