I'll just let Hahn do the talking on this matter:

"Yes, the transmissions in these cars are amazingly durable, but not unbreakable...after over a hundred 12, 11 and 10 second passes, this one did finally fail a ring and pinion. I am not bothered by this, as Hondas running similar power to weight ratios typically get only a few passes before the trans is junk. We have also run these same transmissions in high nine-second Drag Neons with success."

If you're making that much power, then you can think about an alternative tranny. If not...don't worry. It's not like we got stuck with the crap Mitsu trannys ;p
