Try a junkyard
I would also suggest a junk yard or try your local mechanics shop, they might have some lying around. I know a shop around my area has old d-series motors from swaps they have done. Those ******* VSS go bad all the time. What are the symptoms of yours? When mine went bad, my speedometer would jump around from like 0 to 20 then to 60 then back down to 0 then to 97 etc...basically it was jumping around like it was possed. It was really annoying and it gave me a CEL. If you don't have a CEL, then it most likely isn't your VSS. Could be the actual speedometer itself (I have also had this go bad on me) in which case you can order a new speedometer gauge from http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

If it turns out to be the VSS, I have a spare I can part with, let me know.
