I realize I am biased, but having had the chance to drive a LOT of different makes/models of cars over the years, I have yet to find a late '80s - late '90s Honda that doesn't shift buttery smooth. You don't realize how spoiled you are with a Honda gearbox until you drive a Cavalier lol. My wagon had 336k KMs on it, and one of my Insights has 369k KMs on it, and they both shifted smooth, never popped out of gear, and the shifter was still nice and tight. Sure they might get a little noisy, but I will just turn up the stereo a little louder! /end Honda 5 speed fanboy rant.
