I can only weigh in on my experience with the 5-speed but yes the Redline MT-90 (GL-4) gear oil helped shifting at lower temperatures much better than the Valvoline 75W90 (GL-5) I had originally put in. The owners manual should tell you how much to put in when doing a simple drain and refill.
I had an 03 GT 6spd...I used Honda Manual trans fluid..it shifted perfectly cold or hot. Bought it at the Honda dealer but a good euro parts store will carry it. Highly recommended by some Honda 'experts' I know.
put the red line in last night , deff shifts noticably better . its about 10-20 % easier to get into 1st & R , jams 2nd a little easier too . deff recomended !
