I ran Quaker State GM Synchromesh in my Honda Civic tranny and noticed an improvement in shift quality and smoothness, I also ran it in my Escort GT and noticed a huge improvement IMO
The link in BlackDeuceCoupe's reply is VERY good reading.
I am going to change my VX fluid very soon and am not sure whether I will put Honda Fluid in or if I will run Synchromesh. I am most likely going to go with Synchromesh as I really doubt that I will hurt my transmission.

Honda transaxles according to many transmission mechanics are the most durable, which I think is partially due to the fact Honda has many years experience in designing High Performance Motorcycle transmissions which many people shift with out the clutch after first gear
