probably the synchros are getting worn on that old tranny. Same thing happened to mine, I'm in te middle of replacing it right now.

Changing the tranny fluid with the manual tranny stuff from Honda Dealership might help with the shifting. I have heard good things about Penzoil Syncromesh, but I haven't tried it personally.

My 95 MT is at 210K and it shifts fine. Before wasting money on a new/rebuilt tranny, try putting new fluid in there to see if it fixes the problem.
