This is a tough one!!!! But here is how it is done. Remove the clutch master cylinder from the firewall and clutch pedal (that's right, remove it!). Leave the hydraulic line connected.
Angle the master cylinder so that the line is above any other part of the cylinder (basically upside down) This allows all the air in the cylinder to rise to the top and accumulate immediately adjacent to the line.
Have a helper under the vehicle crack the slave cylinder bleeder valve open. On models where it is possible to reach, have the helper hold a rubber-gloved finger over the open valve orifice so that it acts as a one-way valve and allows no air to enter the slave cylinder on the return stroke.
Holding the master cylinder in this position, use your other hand to smoothly pump the cylinder rod and piston several times. Make sure you depress the piston completely each time. Do this slowly and smoothly. You have to push the air bubble all the way down and through the slave cylinder. Rest after three or four strokes. Any rapid movement will disperse the air throughout the cylinder, the fluid will aerate (lots of little bubbles) and the process will be unsuccessful. Be sure that the master cylinder reservoir never goes dry.
When you decide you have done enough (?), direct your helper to close the valve during the final depression stroke. Ideally, the valve would be completely closed while the piston is being depressed, not after it hits bottom.
Reinstall the master cylinder. Hope for the best.
-----------------
You should try to have three people to do this job. One to work the cylinder, one to work the bleeder valve, and one to keep the master cylinder from running dry.
When doing this job always try to keep the vehicle overnight so that any air that was aerated into the fluid will condense and you will find the problem the next morning rather than being stuck with shifting problems.
I strongly recommend that this be done in a shop that specializes in clutches. The chances of a relatively inexperienced DIYer or even an average general mechanic getting it right the first time are slim.
