Default What fluid should I use to service my manual trans with?

My car has 21k miles and want to know if it would be worthwhile to change the fluid at this time and what I should use?

Honda MTF. You'll need 2 quarts. I change mine approximately once a year. Check your owners manual.

Definitely refer to existing threads for any "Which fluid should I use?" questions. These are severely beaten dead horses.
