What manual gearbox oil you reccommend?

The gear change is inconsistent sometimes it's fine smooth other times it's notchy. Any gear oil out there that can remedy this?

Redline or royal purple perhaps?

I haven’t tried it but many people swear by Amsoil synchromesh.

I’ve used that and replaced it with Honda stuff.

didn’t notice a huge difference, the car just liked having fresh fluid as far as I can tell

OEM Honda is best and a good place to start with your issues.

This seems to have made it slightly better. I want to stop this car from being blown around on the highway on a windy day.

But putting some nice oil in the gearbox would really smooth it out. Hmmm. but not now when it's time for a oil change. My other issue with this car is when on the motorway it kinda get blown about by wind...I guess a sway bar at the back would help.

Also maybe some sound deadening in the interior. Apart from that it's not a bad unit.

Change with OEM . All Honda/Acura just like Fresh fluid and they'll shift fine.
enjoy the ride

Ditto all of the above. We've used either Amsoil or Honda in ours. Both work. Can't tell a difference between them.
