Default Manual Tranny with LSD - what oil to use?

I have a 2wd 91 Honda Civic Wagon with a 5 speed manual transmission. It has a Quaife LSD in the tranny. At the last tranny oil change 15K ago, I put in "Honda Manual Transmission Fluid". However, I am starting to have problems shifting into 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear when the car is cold. It is fine once it has been warmed up on the freeway.

I am about to change the oil again and am wondering what brand and weight of oil other people with Quaife's use?

Thanks,

Jane

Go to the Acura dealership and pick up Honda MTF red cap. This is the same oil used on the Type-R and will be fine for your application of a geared type diff.
