use honda mtf, which is available at your honda/acura dealers. drain and fill bolts are located on your transmission.

odds are its never been changed, i think trans fluid should be changed at least every 30-50k... gm will do you right, ive never used it, but i hear its like 14 a quart (dont quote me)

some honda MTF will do you a world of good, i dont think if you just change the fluid with either, youll be saying "damn i wish id went with the GM snychromesh"

this should do you some good, in a sence changing your MTF is just as easy as changing the oil, minus the filter, but plus a wheel you have to take off.

(edit) you do NOT want to use gear oil in your trans... gear oil would be like 75w-90, and thats way too thick for a honda trans, HONDA MTF is the recomended fluid, and its very similar to 10w-30.
