did the drill mod I replaced the clutch master cylinder and drilled my hydraulic line today. I bench bleed the master cylinder, but when plugging it in to the slave cylinder I noticed it ran the resevoir dry. I proceeded to bleed it by pumping & cracking the bleeder, after about 10 bleeds I took it for a sin and the clutch engages low to the floor and is difficut to take off. First and reverse are also hard to get in, is there any good way to bleed this thing?

JMD's method...
Use a 90 degree spark plug boot.
At the plug wire boot opening, insert hose that fits snugly and is airtight.
Open the bleeder just enough that fluid can come out.
Place the plug side of the boot over the bleeder and the loose end of the hose into a bottle.
Keep the reservoir full while some fluid drains from the hose.
Once you've replaced some fluid, re-route the hose up to the reservoir so its end is pointed down and submerged in fluid.
Use a clip or wire or a helper to hold it in place.
Pump the pedal a few minutes.
This forces fluid through the entire system and the air has a chance to escape by bubbling out at the reservoir.
**the Mityvac pull from the reservoir method cannot pull all air out from the slave. This method can.**
