the starting thing could be a bunch of things do a good tune up on it. getting it in gear is that for all the gears or just first and reverse? sloppy feeling is the shift linkage get es bushings and tighten everything up.

try putting in some genuine Honda MTF and see if that helps your shifting
also get the energy suspension polyurethane bushings for your shifter they will make it feel a lot better and get the black ones because the contain graphite to self-lubricate

When you pull your axels out the trans. fluid will start to drain out. if you have a leak somewhere probably the axel seals and those arent that expensive and simple to replace. since its a D-series to get to the bolt that u use to put gear oil in take the starter off and underneath it is a bolt. (possibly 17mm cant remember), after u break it loose there is a spring underneath it and u can take it out an put gear oil back in it. i think it takes a quart and a half of gear oil if i remember right. hope this helps u
