ok...theres the line that goes into the tranny...and just above it is a bleeder valve...
takes a 12mm socket, and a buddy...
one of you needs to pump the clutch..and hold it in...while the other loosens the valve after the clutch has been pressed all the way in and held in...
then close the valve after it has sprayed air and fluid all over the person under the car(LOL)
then the person holding the clutch in can release it and punp some more....
rinse lather repeat....until all the air is gone....

no way to get a vacuum bleeder that I know of....
just barely enough space for me to get a 1/4 drive socket with a short 12mm on it in there with the thing all hooked up and connected to the engine...
just did mine this weekend....still breaking in my new clutch

i recently bought a motive power bleeder. your take off the clutch fluid reserve and connect the bleeder to the line. you then pressurize it to 5 to 9 psi and you open the purge valve, u then press and depress slowly 4 times this worked perfecly for me. i had been having problems with the regular purging since last december i finally got it working right.
