Default I own a 2002 Honda Accord and the clutch depresses to the floor. Master and Slave cylinder...

...have been replaced.? But you drive it for a few days the clutch has no pressure again. The mechanic bled it out again and it worked for a few days and clutch went out again. I now have it at a Honda Dealer and they don't know what the problem is until it happens again. However if I drive again and it happens to me again i will not be able to drive it and will have to get another tow. Help

There is a real good possibility that the master cylinder that was replaced is defective. I have to assume that the mechanic who is doing the bleeding has checked to confirm that there are no leaks in the system. if there are no leaks and no air in the system then the only possibility is that the fluid in the master cylinder is bypassing the primary piston seal. the primary piston is what moves inside the clutch master cylinder to transmit the force of pushing the pedal down through the fluid to the slave cylidner on the other end.































it is not unusual for a new part to fail. you should have a warranty on the replacement part. It is almost certain that you will have to replace the master cylidner again. I've had the problem with bad new parts too many times in my life to know that it does happen.































hope that helps
