Is this the model with the timing chain stretch issues ?. Some Alloytec engines had issues I believe. Have no idea about the gearbox stuff but I have a 1984 Honda Accord too that I bought as a runaround late in 2016 off a bloke who owned a VE SS and a VE V6 that his wife drove .
He said since he'd had the V6 he'd done the chain twice that tends to stretch . Don't know if you could check for that too before you buy . The VE isn't a bad looker though and I think that otherwise they drive really well ..
Have a quick squizz at this on that matter to consider just in case .

The bloke I bought the Accord off told me that he had no such issues with a VT with the 3.8 V6 and he had it for a long time . The one you are looking at might not be one of the troublesome ones though but just keep it in mind .
