I would stick with the Honda MTF also. Whatever additives are in there seem to work well in the manuals.

On a side note...I remember way back in the early 90's. Some of the 90-91 civic's with manuals made a weird humming noise when making a sharp turn. Turns out it was coming from the diff in the trans. Either a bulletin or the techline (not sure if they were even around then) told us to use Honda ATF instead of the 5-30 and that did solve the problem. This was way before the Honda MTF was around' which I think it came out somewhere in the mid 90's
