Default bleeding help?

I pump the pedal a couple times then hold it down, then I crack the slave open quickly and close...

Question is when I crack the slave open the pedal travels alittle further down, is it suppose to do that? Is that pressure released in system? Or does that mean air is still in system?

Yep, it should go down as the fluid/air is being pushed out. The main thing is don't let off the pedal while the bleeder is open or you'll suck in air - bad... It's the same thing with brakes. It is a PITA with the T56. I ended up picking up a motive power bleeder and installing a bleeder extension - priceless!
