The clutch shares its fluid w/ the brake system and draws
its fluid from the brake master. The slave is located by two
bolts on the front of the engine block toward the rear of the
engine (drivers side). You will see the hard line leading to it
if you look carefully. You will also notice the bleeder valve
with a small rubber cap to keep crud out. That is where you
bleed the slave cyl. at. Uses same fluid--DOT-3. If you
contaminated the slave w/ trans. fluid you must flush it
completely. If it's been in any length of time you may have to
flush the entire brake system as well.

First of all you need to get the transmission fluid out of the system before you destroy the seals in the master and slave cylinders. After you have flushed the system, go down by the transmission and check to see if the bleeder fitting is sticking out from by the clutch. Crack that open and have someone push on the clutch and hold it to the floor. Tighten the fitting and then repeat the process. Repeat until you don't get any air bubbles. Use only DOT3 brake fluid or equivalent in a hydraulic clutch system. Transmission fluid or oil will eat up the seals in both the master cylinder and the slave cylinder and you will have to replace them both.
