you bleed it just like how you bleed a brake pedal. bleed it right at the slave cylinder on the tranny.

Pump the clutch a few times and hold it to the floor. Unscrew the bleeder on the slave cylinder. Wait for brake fluid to come out, tighten bleeder. Repeat procedure until all of the air is out of the line. Top off the fluid.

the trick is to never disconnect the slave cylinder, simply unbolt it from the trani next time you pull the motor... then you never have to bleed it again

Search. and Check the FSM.

I gravity bled mine because I was alone. Just fit a clear home depot line over the screw nipple, turn it, and keep adding fluid to the resevoir until all the bubbles stop comming out.
ive heard it takes a while if you have the clutch damper in. I removed mine when I bled the clutch so it only took about 10 minutes to bleed the whole thing.
look for a Clutch damper delete DIY thread on zilvia or something. I know there are some out there.
itll tell u how to bleed it in the same thread.
