I need to know how to bleed the clutch system. I thought I was doing it right but it seems like Im not doing it right. Let me know, thanks
 
Well you didnt say what u were having trouble with, so here it goes....
Find the release cylinder on the left side of the clutch housing, then remove the dust cap which is over the bleeder valve. Put a plastic tube over the valve, place the other end into a container of at least 2 inches of hydrolic fluid, (the hose must be submerged into the fluid). Its best to do with someone else's help, have them press on the clutch pedal, and make sure the bleeder valve is open, and make sure the clutch master cylinder is full, and keep it full as the fluid bleeds out, continue pumping the clutch until ALL air is out of system, and that nothing but hydrolic fluid is coming out, and no air bubbles what so ever, then close the bleeder valve, and put the dust cap back on and the clutch master cylinder cap on as well.
 
Or if you're working alone, you can put the wrench on the bleeder, put some tubing down into fluid, crack open the bleeder and press the slave cylinder pushrod in toward the bleeder. Close the bleeder, and let the spring in the slave push the rod back out. After 3 tries, refill the resevoir up top.

Mity-Vacs also work well, as does engine vacuum with a bleeder tank made out of a glass peanut butter jar. Or, a turkey-baster bulb over the master cylinder resevoir, squeezed.

And bypass that damned "accumulator" if you haven't already.

Or better, a stainless hose from RRE:
