Recently, before replacing my clutch, I spent way too much time searching thru old Saabnet posts, archives @ escribe.com, as well as turbo! mailing list archives for info on this. The pattern I found was that the MityVac doesn't work well for bleeding the clutch (works fine for brakes, though). The reasons for this, I read, are because air escapes via the bleed nipple threads & it can be tough to get a good seal on the nipple itself.
Of the few who'd written about doing it successfully, the 2 tips I they offered are to:
a.) open the bleed only 1/4 turn, and
b.) use some teflon tape on the threads when you install the bleed nipple into the new slave to help the leak.
I built a pressure bleed system for next to nothing; worked great.
