Actually, the internal slave was only used in 93-94 cars. You can bleed the external slave systems, I found a writeup in the factory manual that explains it..... it is just not as easy as with the bleeder valves.

Actually Brad that write up in the GM service manual is dumb and very hard to perform. What i found is that if you take it out of the car ( the whole line and slave and master cylinder) prop the master cylinder up on a chair. Then with the slave push the rod in and out using the cement floor with a pad or something under it. ( do it a bunch of times and keep filling it with fluid as the air comes out) This is much easier to push the rod doing it this way. If you do it in the car your hand will be sore with in seconds.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll have to try it that way!

If i swapped the 5spd before the 3400 swap, i can use the same tranny when i drop in a 3400?

if you are swapping the 3400 for the 3.1 then yes you can

have speedometer problems on my 86 sunbird with a 93 sunbird gt manual transmission I can't make the speedo working

I'm going to guess that your car has a cable driven speedo [mechanical speedo] and the trans definately has an electronic set-up. Definately a tough one because I believe that the '93 uses a reluctor wheel style and you need the helical gear set-up in order to run the mechanical speedo.

Maybe think aftermarket speedometer.

Can I get rid of the cable from the auto, the one that connects to the shifter then goes to the steering column?
