Hi Robert. If I understand your question, you want to turn/twist the reducer assembly so that you can connect the linkage rod? If so, the answer is yes. It doesn't matter what orientation the reducer is for it's function. It must be in a certain position, however, to connect with the shift rod and it's linkage.
