What makes you so confident it's fixed? Your master cylinder is leaking hydraulic fluid. By flushing and refilling, you've only effected a temporary fix. There's enough fluid to actuate the clutch, but the bad seal will continue to leak. When it gets low again, the problem will return. You can probably deal with this for a while, but eventually the seal will fail completely and leave the car undrivable. At least get the replacement master and have it on hand for that eventuality.

Had it happen on my S in early March, replaced the master cylinder with bleed and refill and all was back to normal.
Same happened to my old 93 Prelude. This event both took place in the winter months and on cold starts wouldn't like 1st gear or reverse. The more you played with it, the more response you got back. Would feel like it fixed itself only to be back at it again while your driving.
If your seal is leaking, replace the master cylinder and rebuild the old one for future use.
The part shouldn't cost much more then 150.
I wouldn't suggest quick fix refills and drains if your obviously leaking.
