But seriously. If it were limited slip, both tires would spin the same way if the transmission is out of gear. Open differentials will spin opposite directions. That's why most hondas do such incredible 1-wheel burnouts.
It sounds to me like just the splines got stripped out. Hopefully it's just from the axle, and not the tranny. Flush the hell out of it because a lot of the tolerances in your gearbox are tighter than a sheet of paper. I'd flush it with 5w-30 a few times, then add 40w until you can get 2 more qts of Honda MTF. I've been running 10w40 with no ill effects for 3 months now. When you're flushing it, if you have an old speaker somewhere with a BIG magnet (the bigger the better), place it near the drain plug while you fill the tranny. Maybe try dragging it from the front of the tranny to the rear a few times before you drain it. A magnetic drain plug wouldn't hurt anything either. I think you can get them from Summit or Jegs if you know your thread pitch.

so my questions are:
1) have you ever jacked up the front end of your car and turned one wheel forward and watch the other wheel spin backward? shouldnt the same sort of thing happen w/ one wheel on the ground, and the axel that is removed should not spin freely?

2) could it possibly be just the axel?

I know how you feel about being sick of working on cars BTW. I helped my friend with an auto to manual conversion on his BMW over the course of 3 weeks. It's finished and working fine now but to this day, I'm still sick of working on cars. There are a lot of things I've been putting off on my own car.
Oh, and I too have been running regular motor oil in my transmission since earlier this year.
