[DeTomaso] Air in clutch system

I newer recomend the "pedal trix" when bleeding clutch systems. A light
airpressure on the master cylinder and than open up the bleeder on the
slave until one almost emptey the master, is the way to go. Then we have a
constant flow of fluid throught the lines, and no way for "suckbacks of
air" to occure.
There is a big difference between the brake and clutch system. In the
brake system there is almos no movement of fluid, it is more like raising
the pressure. While in the clutch system we have quite a large amount of
fluid pushed along the lines. Namly, the square area of the piston times
the distance of movement, which could be an inch or so.
