2 case gaskets (20$)
3 clutch discs (3X $7)
~8l dexronVI (sorry Honda your oil is expensive and was told dexron works ok)

i would never use any "other" brand except for valvoline maxlife dex/merc atf (without stop leak additive).

i topped up my tranny once in an emergency using "mobil one super" ATF,
that was over 2 years ago and about 80,000km ago, never had a problem, its still in there today,
however, i dont think i would use it if i was changing the fluid,
i didnt use much though, probably less than 1/4 liter

I have used honda z1, mobile 1 super, amsoil and castrol import ATF without any issue.
Right now, i 'm running amsoil and castrol with lubeguard red protectant without any shudder. I try to do a drain and re-fill once a year.
