Change the transmission oil. The safe choice is the Honda MTF but many
people (myself included) use Red Line MTL. 10W30 motor oil was spec'd
for years but it was never a good choice to lubricate a syncromesh
transmission.

If your dealership doesn't have the Honda MTF, you can get it at
www.manhonda.com or other on-line retailers.
