Is this what you're trying to do? I think this is the method people are suggesting for the mightyvac use. I'm trying to do it myself and have had no luck but i think it's because my slave is bad. I get to pull the tranny back out soon and buy another slave. I asked questions in my own thread but no one seems to know anything about the manual tranny or just doesn't check this forum. GL and let us know how it turns out.

The writeup in the link will69camaro posted is what I went by when I bled my system with a Mityvac, it worked awesome. The fluid in the bellhousing is just where your bleeding it, it has to go somewhere

i have a mityvac bit it does not create suction i pushes fluid trough the system. you pressurize the mityvac you press the cluth open the bleader screw and let the vac pressure push out some fluid then you close bleeder and pump up the master cyl. repeat the steps a few times. i had this problem for over a yr untill i discovered that mityvac, and that the pressure plate has to be torqued to specific torqe not untill you cant no more like i was told from my local mechanic. since then no more prolems
