A little bit of leak at the slave cylinder will make your clutch do this, and if you have a normal (dirty) engine you won't be able to tell. The issue is more air getting in than fluid coming out, anyways. Could be the hose at the slave, could be the bleed screw. Or your slave cylinder could be shot.

Last clutch I bled was an MG Midget, I was able to cheat because I've got long arms and could reach the bleed screw and clutch pedal at the same time. Just put my finger over the end of the bleed screw to keep air from getting back in, pumped the clutch until a solid stream of fluid came out, tightened up the bleed screw, refilled master cylinder, cleaned up the puddle, done. This was after rebuilding the slave, wasn't too hard on that car.

On an MR2 you either need the bleeder tool or an assistant to pump the clutch pedal for you, and check the level in the master cyl every 5-6 pumps 'cause you don't want to suck any air down it.
