Clutch hydraulics question

[Junkie]

The factory master and slave have been replaced in my car. It seems like its a gravity style bleed setup, are there any better ways to bleed the system. It feels like there is still air in it after 200 or so miles and hundreds of pumps. There is no bleed screw or valve to be found on this setup.

From what I've seen, the Gen 5 self bleeds. With no bleeder valve, I'm not even sure where you'd start...does anyone know how they are filled from the factory?

What was the initial problem for the replacement?. In the service manual there is a procedure, but, in general it is self bleeding. After a clutch change you can see the air come to the surface inside the master cylinder as you pump the clutch.

I removed the aftermarket combo because I love the way the factory clutch acts. So I put a factory G4 clutch in it with all new G5 hydraulics.

I'm going to jack the drivers front up tomorrow and try pumping it again like that.
