Default clutch issue... huge!!

95 accord ex 4dr. Everytime I drive my car if i stay on one gear for too long example 5th gear, when i try to shift out of gear the clutch loses nearly all pressure. I have to shift out and then press the clucth down a few time to get pressure back in for me to shift again. I have changed the slave cylinder 3 times and the master twice already. There is no leak anywhere that i have seen and this weekend I took the engine out to change gaskets so I inspected it to make sure. I cannot for the life of me figure this out and its driving me nuts. And I have to fill up the clutch fluid about once a month which is way too much. Please let me know what you guys think what it might be. Thanks in advance.

ill take a stab at pointing out the obvious so here we go. if your having to full the fluid once a month there has to be a leak somewhere otherwise you would not have to full the fluid. just my .02

you took the engine out to change seals?

and i had a problem with bleeding mine.. it turned out that one of the hard lines had a pinhole leak in it and was sucking air back into it.. i never saw it leak but i finally saw it bubble.

all I know is that I never see a leak.I am going to have to try that next and replace my linesto see if that solves it. Yeah I did a complete upper and lower gasket change so I took the engine out because it is easier to do all of it at once while it hangs out. Please if anyone else can think of anything let me know. Thx .

ok so we took the lines off and put them on a pressure pump. nothing, we had no signs of leakage anywhere on the lines. we are basically back to the beginning.

and these are the oem honda lines? a lot of guys will actually just get one solid stainless steel line from bonanco, myself included, and bypass all of the hard to soft line transpositions as well as the dampener. just a thought.

Might have an internal leak in the master clutch cyl?? Have you check under the dash by the firewall to see if there's any fluid on the carpet under the clutch pedal??
