Gearbox-Fresh Honda MTF
Oil-Any quality oil will work fine-there is a lot of opinions and "research data" on oils-personally I use Mobil 1 5w30 Extended performance syn in my B18C and Mobil clean 5000 5w30 in my B16A

It's actually PENZOIL Syncromesh. You can find them at your local NAPA auto parts store.
