Motive power bleeder.

When bleeding the clutch what pressure should you pump up the bleeder too,10 or 15 psi or higher?

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.

Used in the range of 10-15 psi when I did my Evo. Same as I used for brakes.

Ya know, as many times as I've bled my brakes I've NEVER bled my clutch. Stupid question; but what's the logic behind it?

3 years of tracktime - 22k total miles - stock clutch...

your clutch uses the same fluid as your brakes, so it can wear out and absorb water, so it can help to bleed it every now and then.
