Default real quick where is the bleeder valve

i know there is a thread on here but i can't find the bleeder valve to the clutch. Without doing any modifications, i was hoping to fix the sticky clutch by putting dot4 in the car. The stupid cable is about a quarter inch away from my manifolds. I am hoping the higher boiling point will help the problem, if not I'll be doing the drill mod. But anyway, can anyone tell me real fast where exactly the bleeder is, i've been looking for 15 min.

drivers side there is a hole in the tranny that you fit a wrench on and loosen. you have to be under the car to reach it good. its connected to the throwout slave assy.

That is a dirty trans! Yeah what they said, but I used a 7/16" socket 1/4" drive, with a swivel attached to the socket and about a foot of extensions. It is a PITA to get the socket on there.

Actually, its really easy if you dont mind drilling a hole in the floor of your car. I marked directly above the bleeder and drilled a large enough hole to fit a 7/16'' socket and an extension through. Now I can bleed the clutch by myself and it only takes me a couple minutes.
