I have mine at a 7:30 to 8:00 and I can get the filter in there without undoing 
the slave or steering. 

Of course the shorter the cannister the better, I use a standard length filter.

Dropping the slave cylinder is the easiest way.  Undo 2 bolts and just 
let it hang down by the hose.  When done, bolt it back up and your done. 
This will not affect the clutch in any way.  I do it whenever I change 
the filter in the canister, which is every other oil change.  Of course 
I never let the oil get very dirty.   John Mitchell    76 TR6   

P.S.  an alternative is to try and flex the drive shaft enough to slip 
the cannister by.
