I've used a Motive pressure bleeder for years - change the brake fluid twice per season on the 928 track car,  changed MANY others also.  Can't count how many times I've done it,  maybe a hundred times. Did the a6qa when I first got it,  too.  Never had a problem,  I keep the pressure to about 10 pounds.  I can change the fluid in the 928 in about 1/2 hour,  from the time I start to torquing the wheels and putting it back on the ground,  including the clutch fluid.
