You may just want to run a different size tire for now, assuming that's allowed in your class. Dunno if there are many other transmissions available

Explain (in better detail) what you're doing and people might offer suggestions. Also include how much you would be willing to spend.

I don't think you'll find anyone interested in swapping a D for an M. Google/ebay/craigslist will tell you what they cost.
