You can call up a company like ProDrive and have them build you a custom tranny. Expect it to cost somewhere in the neighborhood of about $10k though.
There are no factory 6-speed options for the B series....sadly.

I believe you could throw an Integra LS 5th gear in your Si tranny. That way, you keep gears 1-4 short and close, and have a long 5th for cruising.
I'm planning on trying that on mine once I get up the motivation. 4300 rpm @ 80mph ftl

Re: (cinci00si)
it actually runs good in a tranny like that.. I know that when your racing ur long distances it doesn't really drop too many rpms either when you go from 4th to 5th... honestly it is an awesome combo.. or u could just buy a gsr tranny to put in ur car.. longer gears than an Si but shorter than and Ls

Re: (unsungfate)
well i run about 4700 around 80 and a solid 5k at 90. unless you think it will drop it a lot itd kinda pointless? im asking not saying?

from what I've heard (I've never actually seen one) an LS 5th gear puts you around 3600 - 3700 rpm at 80. Which is much much better than 4200, and pretty comparable to say, the 6th gear in an RSX.
LOL guess it's time for me to hit the pick n pull and start tearing apart old teg trannys.
