I have to answer quick because I am about to leave for work.
1) for stores:
Majestic Honda - The Internet's #1 Honda Automotive Parts Store and
https://www.hondapartsnow.com/
2) Honda FSMs for these older cars can often be found online for free. I have a pile of them in PDF form.
3) A cheaper option would be to buy a used 7th Gen Civic transmission with the taller 5th gear and either swap the whole thing or part.

Is it rebuildable in USDM world? Lastly is there any seller in the western states that you recommend I contact for one?

This is a tougher one and a bit beyond my personal experience... too little time right now... I gotta run to work, but have you asked the sellers for codes from the transmission bell housing? If you can get codes you might get somewhere. Otherwise, the best technique will always be laying your hands on an example and counting flywheel rotations and gear teeth!
Maybe there are others reading this thread who can help more. gotta go!...
