When I had my Acura, Redline was the best manual transmission fluid as well.
I think it took 2 qts and will easily last 30k.
fix your tranny instead of band aid fluids that will cause more damage in long run
Honda MTF did not exist in 1989.
A 1989 Prelude would have come from the factory with 10w-30 in its manual transmission or with Dexron II in its automatic transmission.
Honda didn't start saying that 10w-30 was temporary until they came out with their own special sauce.
Most if not all HDEOs are GL-4 rated, so if it shifts fine on 10w-30 or some other viscosity of HDEO, no mechanical harm will be done.
