You attach the line of the vacuum pump to the rubber plug. You will need a barbed fitting for the hose to rubber plug. Push the plug into the resivour top where the cap would go and start pumping. It'll suck the air right out.

I'm confused now. If your slave cylinder and lines are attached right you should see vacuum. The plug has to be pushed into the resivour to completely seal it off. Wedge it in there to ensure no air is leaking out. Then the lines should be air tight (zip ties on connections). You should be able to start pumping the Mity vac with the air release valve on the Mity vac closed. If you do not bleed the clutch by vacuum bleeding it, you won't get all the air out, and the clutch will not engage/disengage properly. The dealership needs to read how to bleed it propely because what they said is wrong.
