I have to frequently bleed the slave cylinder on my 1994 Honda prelude si (2.3L)or the clutch will start to slip. I replaced the master and slave cylinder some time ago and bled the system but still after engaging the clutch 30-40 times I have to crack the slave cyl. bleed valve, and I can see the arm for the clutch goes back down a little

If you can only get good pedal pressure by bleeding, you will probably have a small leak in the slave or the master, check under the rubber boot on the slave for any signs of leakage, also check under the dash on the fire wall where the clutch master is bolted, try and lift back the boot there as well and look for any fluid, replace any defective cylinder, start here.
