Default Clutch fluid not cycling?

I've tried replacing the clutch fluid via the Ranger method for several times now, but for some reason the fluid that I'm taking out of the reservoir is the same reservoir I put in even after 50 pumps of the clutch pedal. I know this because I'm putting in ATE super blue brake fluid.

Am I understanding the ranger method wrong or doing something wrong? Or is something wrong with my car?

When my car gets hot, the clutch pedal sticks occassionally and sometimes it's hard to get it into first, which is why I want to replace the clutch fluid.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I suggest using a mighty-vac or similar vaccum assistance bleeder. This will allow you to pull fluid through the system. Give it a shot (they can be rented at most autoparts stores) and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,
