what do you mean point the bleeder straight up and open it?

 

Fill the reservoir.
Before you remove the 2 bolts that hold the slave to the trans untighten the bleeder and tighten by hand.
Put a clear hose on the bleeder, the other end in a jar.
Remove the slave, keep the pushrod in the slave.
Hold the slave - still in 1 hand - so the bleeder point upwards.
(Upwards = opposite of the way thing fall to Earth )
Open the bleeder (by hand) and slowy push the piston ALL the way in, you'll see bubbles and old fluid coming out.
Keep the piston ALL the way in and close the bleeder - by hand.
Let the piston come back out - slowly.
Now you suck in fresh fluid from the reservoir.
Fill the reservoir - this is where a helper is very very handy.
Repeat 2-3 times.
Done.

IF the car is jacked up unbalance will it make a different in term of bleeding the clutch system?

 

Blue = fork with black pivot point
Red = push rod
Green = piston
Grey = slave housing
NNN = spring
Yellow = clutch fluid

The bleeder is not at the highest position with the slave bolted to the trans.
There is a chance that little air pockets stay in the slave = soft clutch & not enough disengagement = rough shifting.

The clutch fork pivots in the encircled holder and is held in place by a thin spring plate.
That spring can make it feel like its not in the right spot.
If the pivot feels ok without any other movement it is most likely in the right position.
(Hard to tell over the internet)

I hope this helps.
Bleeding the slave porperly is the key to smooth shifting.

 

great pic~ I will take a look at it this weekend.

 

You could install the slave without the dust boot to see what happens when a helper pushes the clutch pedal.

Upside: you can see what happens.
Downside: if it is all ok you have to remove and install again - with dust boot.

 

problem sloved~ everything is working fine now. but there still a little bit rough on the clutch just very little though. so it doesn't bother me at all.
