How do swap a automatic transmission on a 4cy Honda accord?

I have a honda accord that just stop shifting into gear. It redlines and the car barely moves. Sometimes it does grab but then looses it. The solenoids are okay. I never had a problem with the tranny and then last week i did a tranny flush and (i did notice some metal shavings) I used tranny oil for hondas but it was not HONDA OIL as recommended. I think it could be the filter or pump but figure its easier to do a swap with a rebuilt one. So will i need any special tools for the swap?
I have done other transmissions but not on a front wheel drive vehicle. When removing the tranny , is there anything that could fall out or is everything intact once you remove the bolts holding on the tranny to the engine? Where can i get information on steps to repair or remove the transmission? when removing the tranny is the engine supported by engine mounts or is a jack also needed?
So if in deed its the torque converter wouldnt it be easier to just swap the whole transmission witha rebuilt and rebuild the other one for sale?
 
no special tools just regular sockets and wrenches. a couple of jacks and some jack stands and you'll be ok if you have the slightest idea how to do it if not leave it to a profesional.
