sounds about right...
MTF should retail for 7-8 bucks/quart. Plus crush washers plus labor.

I heard Honda dealerships don't do transmission flush. Do they do just the drain?

i'd stick with honda mtf but many people use motor oil rated at 10w30 because honda mtf is couple dollars more for a quart. you only need 2 qts i believe

x2. Honda recommends Honda MTF or 10w30. I would get the Honda MTF. And yeah 2 quarts is a little more than what you will use.

About a year ago I put in GM Synchromesh Friction Modified because of all the great things I've heard about it, and it has been really nice. It should be though, it cost me $15 per quart. Next time, I'm just using Honda MTF, I can't believe I put GM product in my car in the first place.
