Honda MTF, what's the equivelent?
Hi,
In my manual it states that I need to buy MTF (manual transmission fluid)
from Honda. I called my local parts store and they are not familiar with
the Honda MTF, they said either use "GEAR OIL" or use "ATF" (like Mercon III). So I am getting mixed response from people, what should i use?

the synchromesh stuff is made for manual trannies and supposedly helps reduce grinds and make shifts smoother, but i cant really tell cuz my tranny wasnt grinding when i put it in
