The part you want is part #8 and includes everything inside the box that "8" points to ............ http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...DER+%28+04-%29
Part #6,7 9,19 are all salvageable off the old part. $82.02 + shipping but your dealer shouldn't be much more than this. So based on your original estimate given by your dealer, they are going to charge you up to $600.00 to do the work.
Doing only the fluid isn't a big job but it does involve a couple of "tricks" to make it go properly. Please have a look at my write up for those little hints.

Dean, the first place I looked for parts was Majestic Honda (hondaautomotiveparts.com)so I just went back and put in the info for my S. There are 20 parts they list for the CMC from 82.02 down to 28 cents with a total of 226.70. Maybe they used parts from your old one, like a cap which isn't going to wear out. I see the 82.02 and the slave cylinder for 58.38 that you referred to. We're talking the same this then, I just added all 20 parts up for my total.
I'll probably wind up ordering from them, then find a garage that will do the work. I refuse to go beyond my level of comfort working on cars, and this qualifies.
Bill I'll give you a case of Cabernet if you want to fly out and flush and bleed my system.
Same offer to you XViper!
I will try the flush and tranny fluid change before I do anything else.

Dave,
your links are excellent. It almost makes me want to try it myself. I think I could handle flushing and bleeding the system. However, I looked through receipts last night and found that the transmission fluid has not been replaced in 50,000 miles, (I know, I know, serves me right) so I am going to take the S in and have the CMC flushed, and the tranny oil changed at the same time.
This whole thread has been very informative. Thanks to everybody.

On a hoist, with a professional, both jobs should be about an hour, but I'm sure the computer will kick out some ridiculous number. Be wary so you don't get hosed too badly.
* There's really no need to use anything more "exotic" for the tranny unless you have some pre-existing condition that you don't like. For example, some of the early AP2 transmissions were known to have a 2nd gear pop out on deceleration. Honda will strip your tranny down and replace all kinds of things inside just to cure this. A simple 50:50 mixture of Honda MTF and Amsoil MTF will cure this condition. Sometimes, there are way more simple ways to fix something than what Honda has in their "books".

It will make general maintenance and also prepping the car for the track -- swapping brake rotors and pads, exhaust, etc. much much easier on an old guy who is not getting any younger.

I finally decided I won't crawl in the garage anymore. I either sell of the S, or have the work done -- which I don't really iike. So -- I am buying one of these for one half of my garage:
