What Tranny lube for a '97 Civic 5-speed?

I asked on the Honda-Tech forum, they said "Honda Fluid". Probably a good suggestion.
I searched here and found very positive notes re. GM SynchroMesh fluid. BUt then it was recommended here for the GM Metro-Suzuki clones here and I saw no notes re. other cars.

Suggestions? Comments?

By the way, the car is doing great. Got 53.5 mpg on a 135-mile trip to NY yesterday!
