Tim at East of Sweden told me the same thing, use only gear oil in the manual trannies. In the Atlanta area, one mechanic who is very good told me he drains out any 10W30 and replaces it with gear oil, just like East of Sweden. Another shop does the opposite, using 10W30 only in C900 trannies. When I had a manual Saab, I had the same symptoms as you when cold with BOTH gear oil and 10W30. I switched to Redline MTL and it shifted smoothly even when cold. HOWEVER, some mechanics say Redline is destructive to trannies over time. Other owners swear by it. It worked well for me for about a couple of years, and was still working well when I sold the car. I don't know the long term effects of using Redline or Honda MTL.
I've rambled a bit...hope some of this helps.
