lol well if it were me I'd have it rebuilt and see if I could have upgraded internals (if they can do such a thing on our cars) maybe it would help make it live longer

alto red eagle clutch pack kits.. you have to call them with the trans number and they can make a clutch pack kit (which is what makes your trans slip) to oem spec, but for racing applications. i did mine and i helped a guy in tampa (when i was stationed there) rebuild his with these, and it was awesome. a little harsher between gears normally driving but it would pin you back between shifts at high revs. but being that the kits are made for big trannys like 700r4's and c-5's for drag racing im sure it would last for ever in a car on the street.

scroll down to the honda section 87 on. theres the part number, but id call them with the trans number should be on the trans itself. i used to remember the number but i forgot over the years. and from what i remember it was only $300 or so for the kit, but then youd need someone to do the work unless you do it yourself.. which is what i did with mine.

heres the link to the manual supplement which tells you step by step how to do it yourself.. i did mine and i think it costed me $450 total, and i was rollin again. took me about a week to do.
