Acura dealership quotes $560 for this installation. Does this sound fair
$560 for clutch slave cylinder parts and labor?

Thats over $400 in labor. The part even at full dealer retail is $125 dollars. Approximate time for the dealer to change this part would be 1 hour or less.

It might be typical of a dealer price, but there is no way it is fair.
The clutch master is much more difficult to replace. Maybe $500-ish for the master is closer to fair. But I think replacing the slave shouldn't cost more than $300 or so, assuming 90 minutes of labor.
But the slave is easy to replace.
1. Buy $100 for the part itself from Del Ray Acura. Order an o-ring too.
2. Remove airbox (~5 minutes)
3. Unscrew clutch fluid line from old slave cylinder, catch draining fluid somehow
4. Remove old slave cylinder.
5. Grease end of new slave. Re-mount.
6. Replace o-ring on fitting.
7. Re-attach fluid line.
8. Bleed line.
Bleeding probably takes the longest.
Thanks for the replies.
I also asked for a quote to replace the master cylinder; that quote was for (only) $195 . So $756 for both the master and slave; getting close to fair...

No. Not for one of them, not for both of them.
I'm glad your considering changing both. I preach this, LOL.Thanks for the replies.

I just paid $613 at the dealer, would have preferred to do it myself but time didn't allow. The two parts from Delray are $215.

A quick second on nsxtasy's recommendation of a service provider for your NSX. Larry is without doubt one, if not the most, knowledgeable person anywhere concerning the NSX.
I trailered my car to him for TB/WP 60K mile service and it was the second best thing I ever did. The first being buying my NSX. I HIGHLY recommend him. Plus he is a cool guy.

I'm in touch with Larry now, so he'll likely do all future work on the car. The car only has 20k miles and only had oil and brake fluid changes, so I felt comfortable with the dealership doing the work.
