New Tranny!!!

I think my transmission is messed up. It's really hard for me to get into gear. Third and fouth gear is especially hard. I was wondering, what if i did have to get a new tranny, should i rebuild the my broken one or get a b16a tranny? Which option would not be too expensive. I was thinking also, if worst came to worst, I'm going to just get a JDM Type R front clip!!! Woohoo!! Any feed back would be good. Thanks!!
