I have a 1989 Honda Prelude si. Recently my clutch has stopped working. It just drops right to the floor. After bleeding the clutch, it started working again. Shortly after this, say a day or two, my car did the same thing. This time I went through the hole system and looked for holes in the system. After not finding any, I decided to bleed the system again. This time however, it didn't go so well. The system was sucking air in as I tried to bleed it. Additionally, no brake fluid was taken into the system. Could this be the Master cylinder? I replaced it a couple months ago so I would be baffled if it was the problem.

Pretty simple system, but it can be perplexing. New or rebuilt on the master that was replaced. They still can go out as sometimes parts are cheap or quality of installation wasn't there the day the master was assembled. Anyway, check the lines thoroughly, check the inside of the car for leaking where the linkage goes through the firewall to the master. Don't forget the slave unit could be the culprit.

Sorry but it is hard to diagnose from this distance. Somewhere there is a leak.
