seems i've read more old posts on this topic than most -- but i do want to confirm the following: yes, reverse bleeding works, using the passenger side(u.s.) caliper bleeder to pump fluid up through the slave/mc to the reservoir, and no, the old push rod attached to the pedal may not work, so best to use the correct one that comes with the new m.c.(mine is fte, but the old m.c. was fag, rods do not match, and bleeding with the old rod was not happening) -- even with the driver seat removed this is a pain, but a working clutch is worth the effort.
