yes its right down there mounted to the side of the tranny, however it is a two person job. one person pumps the pedal ten times then holds it down and the next person opens the bleeder. repeat the process until clutch feels good and tight. the process can take from ten minutes to ten hours, lol if your dumb like me and leave the line loose

It should be on the bellhousing, between the engine and the transmission. JMO
