this is how i did it, i will type out the steps, send me a PM if you need further clarification

1. get the mityvac, and hook up the cup with the top that is sitting next to the mityvac like this picture:


2. have one line going from the vac to the cup, and another line going from the cup to one of the adapters that will fit in your clutch master cylinder resivore

3. i filled the line going into the resivore with a bit of brake fluid, stuck it in the hole, then connected it to the cup

4. pump the handle till it gets to about 15" of vacuum, and leave it there for a LOOONG time.. i waited 40 or so minutes

5. after i waited, i got in the car and slowly pressed the pedal down a few times, then i started to pump it rather quickly

6. i let the vacuum off of the system, and repeated those steps 2 or 3 more times

7. enjoy your newly bled clutch
