I used Honda mtf. My grinding issues stopped almost all together

You can also use 10w30 Honda oil.

you can use that but it will go south quick- you want a non detergent 30w or known as ND30W ND30....

BUT best is honda MTF IMO- I had a 99 si tranny that the syncros were out in 2,4,5 and always did a reverse grind PERIOD- flushed the penzoil syncro and put in honda MTF- NO GRINDS, no nothing shifts were smooth as butter

I haven't used it but my friend uses royal purple mtf and swears by it. I use all of their other fluids and love them so that's something you could check out.

It depends on who you ask. For instances, most people here like the Honda fluid, but if you ask RSX or newer Civic owners they will tell you Amsoil, as a matter of fact for a short while Honda had problems with the Honda fluid and the cars that have triple syncros so they were draining and refilling with Amsoil, which is what a friend of mine had done. I would say most syncromeshes will do the job. I personally use GM Synrcomesh, Fluid Friction Modified, and I have never had an issue with that.

i am using castrol synthetic i still grind some times i need to try that oem honda stuff!!!

[batever]

Quaker State 5w-30 motor oil!!

Just kidding. That's what I have in there (and the manual included with my 92 actually recomments either 10w-40 or 5w-30 depending on operating temperature) but I'm sure the Honda MTF is much better. Maybe I'll switch when i drain the tranny this spring.
