could somebody please direct me to where I should bleed the clutch system from? is it the valve in front of the motor right next to the engine mount?

it's on the slave cylinder right in front of the motor/tranny.

thank you for the confirmation. does anybody have experience with using speed bleeders for this job. I am a one man team and I need to do this by myself. this seems possible only with speed bleeders and auto parts guys are clueless to the size needed. there should'nt be a prob with me removing the valve and going to find the appropriate replacement right? as long as I bleed it before I drive the vehicle.

no clue, never used speed bleeders on clutches before...if you could get a friend, or anyone really, maybe a hobo off the streets, just have him/her push the clutch in, pop the bleeder open, let it bleed until the fluid isn't coming out of the hose anymore, tighten it, repeat until all air bubbles are out of the system. make sure to add brake fluid to the master cylinder every couple of bleeds to make sure it doesn't get too low.
