T-5 slave bleeding?
There's not much to it. Have a buddy sit in the car and you crawl under it. When you're ready tell him to pump the clutch a couple times and then hold it down. While he's holding it you open the bleeder valve with an allen wrench, then when it stops squirting close it again. Then have your buddy pump it a couple more times and hold it. Vent it again. Keep repeating this process until you get a solid spray of fluid with no bubbles in it.
Wear safety glasses so you don't get clutch fluid in your eyes.

Yeah, I'd already done that much. Quite a few times at that with NO sucess. The fluid wasn't moving at all. I'm starting to think that I'll have to remove the actuator and try to make it "suck" from there just to get it started.
You may have blown the seal in the master cylinder. If it's not getting any suction then it won't pull the fluid down out of the reservoir and you won't get any from the bleeder.
Try gravity bleeding it. Just fill it with fluid, open the bleeder, and let it sit for a couple hours. That SHOULD get some fluid into the system so you can force bleed it.
