Default slave cylinder no bleed screw?

So I recently recently replaced my flywheel clutch disk pressures plate transmission drive shaft and rear end, basically the whole deal. Now everything is put back together and torqued. Only thing I recently noticed missing is my "clutch fork boot". The problem is clutch goes straight to the floor, doesn't stick but I feel no pressure. How do I bleed this line without a bleeder on the slave cylinder? I mean what's really going to get the job done?...

Should be a bleeder screw on the T/O bearing.


Red tipped is hose connection, bottom is bleeder - attach drain hose and bleed as normal.
Or, mount/jerry-rig a vacuum hand pump to the reservoir and suck out the air.

Ok I have a 94 5 speed it didn't not come with that deal u sent me. I swapped out this tranny with a 2000 5-speed and it.came with that deal. But did not install it because the original tranny on my car doesn't come with that. I don't have those 2 lines oh my car. So.....

Your 3.4 has an external slave cylinder, not an integrated slave/release bearing shown, as that's for a newer 3.8 setup. There's no bleeder, so to bleed it (by yourself), you need to remove the slave cylinder and bring it up under the hood. Remove the master cylinder cap and plug, and work the slave cylinder in and out by hand until you see no more air bubbles in the master cylinder. Be sure to keep the slave lower than the master cylinder so the air feeds uphill. Or, if you have a helper, they can watch for bubbles while you work the slave from under the car.
