I would avoid Speed Bleeders. I've tried several brands, and they all leak. Stick with stock and use a Mighty Vac to bleed.

Last year I tried to do this with my new clutch slave cylinder (from RockAuto I think) but turned out not doable.

The thread is M8x1.0. But, as of last year anyway, SpeedBleeder offered only one length of bleeder in this thread (35.53mm, 1.28") and it was too short. That is, the hex shoulder of the SpeedBleeder hits the clutch slave casting before the conical end can make a seal.

My previous failed clutch slave cylinder had the oem type of bleed fitting with the flat end that pushes against a steel ball to make the seal. Same thread. But even if a SpeedBleeder was long enough, not sure it would work in a clutch slave made with this type of bleeder.
