Get yourself a 50 cc syrange from Home Depot. Used to mix gas & Oil for 2 cycle engines.
Pull out old fluid from the clutch MC. and replace with new DOT3 brake fluid. do this 3 or 4 times in a week. Then you should be good to go.
I use to do this untill I put in a clutch drain valve in the bottom of the clutch.

Unless you have a bleeder valve installed, which is not stock, you need to get to the slave cylinder and install one. Best case is you won't need to drop the drive system in order to get to it. Worse case is you gotta drop the differential, transmission and torque tube to get it.
this is why most just use a turkey baster and pull from the resevoir on top.
