I use GM Syncromesh, aslo known as pennzoil syncromesh. It quieted down a 2nd gear scratch that redline did not. However, there is a local honda specialist shop here that swears by using plain ol' 30 weight motor oil in all honda trannys.

I know alot of dsm's use it, and it's way cheaper than Redline.

after using 2 different types of standard 80/90 gear oil, NEO-gear, and now Redline for the last couple hundred miles, I'm a Redline fan now...It's like night and day...
