Fill the resovoir with fluid, put the cap on. With the bleeder on the slave closed, get someone to push and hold the clutch pedal to the floor. Then crack the bleeder open then close. Do the 4 or five times then fill the resovoir back up. Makr sure that it doesnt go empty. Feel the pedal and see if it feels ok or is mushy. Repeat till you have a smooth good feeling pedal.

Wrong. The bleeder is on the slave which is in the bellhousing of the trans. The bleeder screw comes through by the inlet line into the slave cylinder. Its a 11mm hex if I remember correctly.

you have too options bleed manually by pumping clutch a couple of times hold it too the floor while somebody cracks the bleeder that's on the slave cylinder, that in the bellhousing(just above where clutch line goes into bellhousing there should be a opening where the bleeder screw is located, or you can find someone with a pressure or vacuum bleeder that makes it so much easier.
