Garage
Bled mine a few years ago using a vacuum style bleeder hooked up to my compressor. Kit came with a bottle that sat atop the MC reservoir and held about a qt of fluid so I didn't have to worry about it running dry. Much dark fluid removed.
Had to replace the slave cylinder a couple years later after it leaked fluid over the garage floor. What a *****.... the actuating rod is under pressure so to mount it back onto the transmission and align the mounting bolts is a real job. Don't remove that slave unless you really have to! If you do replace it, replace the short flexible line that feeds it as well. I suspect it can swell on the inside and restrict the travel of the fluid to and from the slave just like a brake line/caliper restriction.
