After changing the master cyl on the clutch on my 93 Accord, the pedal went all the way to the floor. Checked fluid, bled it again and drive for about 1 mile or so. Same thing happens. Change the slave cly. same thing. Is there something I'm missing here? The set-up is pretty simple & straightforward. Any help was certainly be appreciated! Doc
If you're not losing any fluid, the master cylinder is bad. Replace it again or take the it apart and check the seals and cylinder walls.

Can you get the pedal to work temporarily if you first pump it rapidly several times in succession?
If so, and if you're certain you got all the air out, then your "new" aftermarket master cylinder is defective.
How did you bleed it, and are there bleeder screws on both master and slave? The clutch hydraulics on my 944 stumped both myself and the mechanic down the street until a Porsche-wrenching friend showed me the trick to bleed it.
In case you're wondering, the trick is as follows: with car on stands, hook up pressure bleeder to reservoir and pump up. Attach hose to bleeder (on this car, on slave only) and crack bleeder open, then tighten loosely. Get in car, pump pedal rapidly 20x or so. As quickly as possible, get under car, open bleeder, let run. Repeat 2-3x. That worked. Apparently air gets trapped in one or the other of the cylinders and the rapid pedal pumping with the bleeder closed works the air into small bubbles in the fluid which can then be flushed out.

He didnt say it was an aftermarket unit, Teg, although that is certainly possible.

I believe it's more likely than not.
A new OEM Honda MC is awfully expensive. I think most owners of a 17-year- old Honda would take a pass on OEM.
