1) not sure, but I think what you're looking for is a speedo healer
2) drive by wire should be sorted by using your ep3 throttle body
3) clutch is generally determined by flywheel. DC5 flywheel, DC5 clutch. you cannot use an ep3 flywheel with a dc5 clutch. the pins are different. I recommend the DC5 type s flywheel if you're still looking. I went with a (dc5) type r flywheel and dc5s oem clutch.
4) ep3 ecu is fine for kpro. 02-04 dc5 ecu is good if you want to mess with the reverse lock out. I have no issues with my ep3 kpro'ed ecu and my 07 k24a2 w/ modded ep3 tranny. if you do decided to use an 05/06 type s ecu you'll need to piggy back an earlier ecu anyway.
5) not sure.
6) I reused my ep3 harness. had to switch a few sensors over but it was pretty straight forward.
I wish I could help you more with the transmission compatibility. Hope the above helps.
The mod list from my member's ride thread should have all the parts I ended up using for the swap. I think somewhere in the thread, there's a pic of all the parts and fluids I bought just prior to the swap.
Good luck
