I have got hold of a scrapped honda civic 1.4 1996 hatchback and was wondering if the gear box from this is the same as the one on my civic 1.5lsi hatch back same year in which the clutch has gone and possibly the gearbox too.

If it does fit will it change the ratio's and what would be the affect of this, more/less acceleration?

Any input would be much appreciated

Cheers

As long as both motors are of the same type, (ie. both motors are D series or B series) then both transmissions will bolt right up. You may have different gear ratios but you might not notice too much difference. Most of the time switching trannys from a smaller displacement results in longer gears and slower acceleration but I really wouldn't be too concerned about it. Just make sure you have your flywheel turned prior to reinstallation. It usually isn't very expensive and could certainly minimize a headache in the future.
