bleeding my clutch

I am going to bleed my brakes and my clutch this weekend. I know with the brakes to start at the corner furthest from the master cylinder and work my way to the closest corner. My specific question is, is there any thing special about bleeding my clutch? I've never had to bleed one before, and wish to cover my bases. Thanks.

nothing special. if you have two people, this is how you do it:

person inside press clutch pedal down
person outside opens bleeder
person outside closes bleeder
person inside pulls clutch pedal up
repeat over and over and over

I tried the above method the other day and the clutch pedal 'stuck' to the floor. It sprung back if I pulled on it, but I lost clutch operation for several minutes i.e. Pedal would either be to the floor or inline with the other pedals. No in-between and no resistance like usual. I hand 'pumped' it a few times, but wouldn't suck fluid from the reservoir any faster.

Doesn't seem to want to bleed like a brake system.

^ you have to make sure that there is no air in the line. if you get any air in the line it will do exactly what you are describing. This includes if you pull the pedal back up with out closing the bleed valve. you will just suck air back in. it happens. or if a line is not connected properly.

if its either on the flood or up and there is no in between, then there system is still open somewhere.

My clutch still works though :S. I left it for a few minutes, saw the reservoir dropped a bit and had feel in the clutch pedal. I can shift into every gear including reverse.
