Sorry for the delayed response, but I ordered one of the Motive Pressure
bleeders with what they call their universal adaptor.  This adaptor is
basically a metal plate that is secured over the reservoir using chains.  To
quote Chuck, this really sucks too. Don't buy the universal adaptor.

I did use the tank and affixed an extra TR6 reservoir cap to the end of the
hose with limited success.  I was having issue with the pressure, even low
pressure, causing the fluid to find small seams in the reservoir itself.
This may have been due to a little operator error though.

Chuck,
I have to agree with Hugh on the MityVac. I know it's supposed to suck, but 
IMHO, it REALLY sucks.
I've been looking into power bleeders for the past month or so, since my own

inquiry to The List on the same subject. I've found a couple of power
bleeders 
that come highly recommended. As you might guess, they're not inexpensive.
KD Tools: No. KDT2222 Brake Bleeder Tank. A 1-man bleeder with a 7 qt tank. 
This is a shop caliber tool. Shark tools: No. shkS0061A doesn't require 
adapters.
Both are available from ProTool, Canton, OH 800-665-3887. 

I'm also looking into Motive Products, Berkeley, CA ( Motiveproducts.com) 
They have a line of more affordable 1-man bleeders, but aren't sure if the 
"European" fitting would work on the TR. They are the most affordable the
good 
bleeders I found.
