ive been thru several bleed sessions on the 89 chevy s-10.......the only thing that works is to remove the slave cylinder from the trans, tip the bleeder strait up.then allow a drip bleed. the capacity on the reservoir is so messed (engineering goof) up you just about need 2 people to keep it fed. when all the bubbles stop close the bleed valve.. you have to cram the slave back in the hole......the spear will engage the clutch fork.....and its a bear cat but you have to do it.....is engage the fork/clutch by hand shoving the slave inward while fumbling for nuts and installing both nuts while fighting the fork/clutch back pressure. this seems to be the only way to bleed these....due to a engineering mess up.
