If you do this, it will make the problem WORSE, Clutch systems are not pedal bled, they are gravity bled.

Fill the resivoir up to the top, crack the bleeder and let the fluid flow on it's own. make sure you fill the resivoir up a total of 2 times (fluid wise) and do not let the resivoir go empty, this will flush any crap out of the fluid and push any trapped air bubbles out of the lines.
