    Upside down Clutch Cylinder

    Might be a dumb question but before I put it in the car and can't change it I thought I'd ask.

    As my cylinder sits right now, its attached to the tranny like this:

    What if I flip it upside down? I bought one of those clutchlines that someone was making on here and the elbow is alittle to big. I could grind the tranny alittle but rather just flip this upside down if I can.

    In the pic its actually upside down .
    But either way it doesn't matter once you start driving it .

    Flip it, bend it or grind it to your hearts content .

      haha alright, I thought it wouldn't matter because it just pops pushes or whatever just wanted to make sure there was a intense flux capacitor in there.

      Thanks

        its upside down for ease of bleeding, I suggest you bench bleed all master and slaves, but in the event you didn't when you install it (upside down position) the air rises to the top of the cylinder and when you open the bleed screw it releases that trapped air.
