I have the best luck by doing a conventional bleed with either a helper or a pressure bleeder. Do the normal procedure first, then take the slave cylinder back off the transmission (with the pressure bleeder disconnected if you're using one). **Also very important to note that you should never press the clutch pedal if the slave cylinder is not installed. If you do, you'll blow the piston out and that's trouble.**
With the slave now off, push the piston back in all the way while holding the slave such that the hydraulic line is upward. The idea is to force any remaining air back up into the system. When you let the slave cylinder return to it's normal position, you'll be able to hear it sucking in fluid. I usually hold it in for a little bit to let any bubbles rise.
Repeat maybe once or twice, reinstall and maybe do a bit more conventional bleeding to make sure you're in the clear.
That's given me the most success the few times I've had mine off, so good luck!
