It is recommended not to exceed 15 psi or you could damage the master cylinder, what pressure bleeding does is forces pressure by the masters seals in the opposite direction. In addition, with 15 psi bleeding takes a few minutes, you don't need additional pressure.

I used as little as possible to move fluids. Doesn't take much.

I kept it at 10 psi. Worked like a champ.

Please elaborate the procedure you use, using the Motive.....
Such as whatis used & inserted into the clutch reservoir/bottom orifice?

You are bleeding all the way back to the slave?

Craaap... I read the post too fast. I only used the motive to bleed the brakes. I used the Ranger method for the clutch. Sorry for the confusion!
