Default Aftermarket clutch master cylinders?

I'm going to be replacing mine after having been plagued by this problem since I bought the car. What are some, if any, manufacturers of aftermarket clutch master cylinders? I know Wilwood makes brake master cylinders, do they also do clutch?

I have yet to hear of any aftermarket cmc's for hondas. I don't know exactly what benifit you are looking for? longer lasting?

Technically a larger master cylinder would increase pedal effort, but you could always get a heavier pressure plate if that is what you are looking for. (all be it, more expensive).

I realize that there's not much performance one can gain from the CMC, I was thinking more along the lines of longer lasting. It seems Integra's are prone to this problem.

Yes, unfortunately the seals on Hondas MC's tend to go after awhile. Like I said, I have yet to hear of an aftermarket one. However, AutoZone sells rebuilt ones with a lifetime warranty. It would require more work if it goes again, but at least you wouldn't have to pay for a new one.

Rebuilt OEM ones? What kind of extra work?

Well if they are rebuilt OEM ones, I would venture that they are going to last just about as long (or possibly shorter) as the originals. So the extra work would be replacing them again, vs finding an aftermarket one that is going to last 200k or whatnot.

I changed mine a few months back. they are so cheap, i doubt anyone would even consider rebuilding it. I changed the clutch cylinder, and the slave cylinder at the same time. I highly doubt there is any aftermarket (performance) ones out, if you flush the brake fluid out of the lines every few years, you should be able to keep clutch master cylinder for a very long time!!
