No! gear oil will destroy the bushings in the tranny, to much sulpher in it, the Honda owners manual calls for straigh 10W30 motor oil, you can now get Honda brand manual tranny fluid but up until I think it was 1996 or so the dealer told you to, along with the owners manual and the shop manual, to us common motor oil.

I've read the shop manuals cover to cover, they are a good read.
