Sure if you know how to rebuild a tranny it shouldnt be a big deal at all, rebuild kits are around 175 I think.

Or if you can find a JDM B16 cable tranny they have much shorter gears.

ya a Y1 os S1 cable tranny would leave you VTEC after shifts.
( you have to rev the sucker to redline to leave the engine in vtec mode).
your LS tranny most likely drops u about 1000 below vtec.
you will get better MPG w/ the LS though.
