Does it make noise idling in neutral? The bearings on the ends of the input shaft (especially the one furthest from the engine) almost always go bad on D-series manuals. Maybe just cracking yours open and putting in a couple of new bearings would help.

Also Honda has a special fluid for manual transmissions, don't use heavy gear oil.
