This page is mostly about 5th gen transmissions, but may help. In the 5th gens, the DX and Si 5th gear is identical. I dunno if this is still true for 6th gens though.

I'm pretty sure you can. I know all b-series gears are interchangable :dunno:

You can do it, but my point was that the difference in the the gears make not make the effort worth it.
