My favorite way to bleed clutch systems is to use an old fashioned hand pump oil gun. I fill the pump oiler with brake fluid, attach a hose to the pump output pipe and to the bleed screw on the clutch slave cylinder. Then loosen the cap on the clutch master cylinder [leave it on, just not tight, if you leave it off, you will squirt brake fluid where you don't want it under the hood].
With the clutch pedal up, start pumping the hand oiler to pump brake fluid from the bottom [slave cylinder is lower, air likes to move up] ... Check the clutch master for fluid in the reservoir so you don't over fill it. When the Master cylinder reservoir is 1/4 or more full of fluid, you have displaced all the air in the system, so close the bleed port and remove the line and pump... finish filling the master reservoir, and tighten the cap... At that point, you should have no air trapped in the entire system and you should have a clutch that works.
