I just had to post this to this thread.

After hours of bleeding the slave cylinder with the car jacked up and my wife operating the clutch while I open and close the bleeder valve, I had an epiphany!

I remembered someone on this forum suggested that the way he bled the system was to crawl under the car, loosen the bleeder valve and let it drip into a drip pan while he went inside and had a beer.

It works! I opened the valve, let it drip into a pan, came out and filled the reservoir every 15 minutes before it went dry, and after two full bowls of fluid, climbed under the car, tightened the bleeder and it was done. Clutch pedal is just as strong as it ever was.

Thank you, whoever suggested this method. You're a genius!
