Default transaxle fluid

Alright, I know this is probably going to get a lot of fire for asking, but I can't find it by searching posts. I own a '92 Accord with a 5sp trans. I am going to change the fluid, but I can't for the life of me find the proper fluid type in my Haynes manual. Can anybody help me out with the proper fluid type and or brand preference? Thanks...

Thanks.......now a comparison, I've been reading that some Honda owners actually prefer the GM Synchro mesh. Any truth to this? If so any thoughts?
