Moved this to 240 tech forum.
The bleeder valve is located on the slave cylinder.

Bleeder is on slave, slave is on the passenger side of the transmission/bellhousing.
There's also a clutch pedal height adjustment on the actual pedal itself. There's a jam nut and a mechanical stop that you can move. You can also adjust the fork on the master if you need to move it more.

Does the vehicle still have the clutch damper?

If so, I'd remove it, it makes bleeding the clutch system a lot easier and the clutch will have a better feel.

definitely remove your clutch damper (http://garage.projectraine.com/content_ ... amper.html). bleeding with the damper still attached takes forever (or so I hear) and it feels waaay better without it IMO. free and easy "mod".
