It's a slave cylinder because it only does what the master sends.
Did you try pumping the clutch 2 or 3 times when you shift?
If you can shift that way for a couple days it will probably bleed itself as
the bubbles of air slowly climb the (mostly) vertical line to the master
cylinder. I don't think I have actually bled one in 20 years.

To assist in this you can pump the clutch 5 or 6 times and then hold it down
for a period of two or 3 minutes while the bubbles rise. Then when you let
it up the spring on the slave cylinder/clutch fork will push the fluid
back up and probably expel the bubbles back into the master cylinder and
reservoir. You may have to repeat this several times if the slave cylinder
was completely empty when you put it on.
