You've got a pretty good transmission for the D's already right there. The only real step up I may see is mixing/matching gears. Otherwise, from what I've seen (don't quote me on this), is that the Z6, D15B VTEC, and Y8 transmissions have the shortest ratios for the D, but are comparably, nearly the same.

Talk to Bense. He knows a lot about the transmissions. Also, consult the FAQ's.

that might help you a little more since you already have the y8 trans

send your tranny out and get one installed or learn how to do it yourself. mista bone (transzex on d-series.org) installs obx lsd and refurbishes them for a good price... its still pretty expensive though.
