Try putting an LS fifth gear into your current tranny.

Depends on what you want to pay for it.

I've seen used....

LS tranny's for $600-$800
GSR tranny's for $1000-$1200

I've seen new....

ITR tranny's for $2000

find a junk LS tranny for about 50-100 bucks. Labor should run anywhere between 50 bucks(good friend) to 150( you bring in tranny and mechanic does the gear change), to 400 bucks( expensive mechanic to drop tranny and all.
