Actually, yes their is a 6 speed gear box. It is made by Quaife, and will cost you upwards of $16,000.

Default And, why is that?

Personally, I think the Prelude could benefit greatly from an added gear for highway driving for example, and a few shorter ratios through out the gearbox.

Also, the reason the 6 speed is so pricey is due to the fact that the h22 spins in the wrong direction, so the choices are (1) pay 16K for a gearbox to suit, or (2) run the Touring Car configuration and run the motor in the right direction. Although to do that you would need custom cams, started, dist, intake manifold and plenum, but it would open you up to a wider range of gearbox manufactures such as Gertrag, Xtrac, Hewland, etc..
Oh and your engine bay would look something like this..
