I believe there is no way to open the end at the trans. I would think if you set it upright any air would rise to the reservoir...

so far the fluid is at the disconnect point on the mc,no air from there to the slave but i'm afraid when i connect the mc to the line i'll get a little air ,and there's no bleed valve

I know what you mean re: the air in the line. Can you get a little fluid in the connection point so you don't push any air into it.
