Whether you push or pull the clutch lever, if the direction of travel is not in line with the centerline of the slave it will create side load on the piston and wear a pattern in the bore of the cylinder preventing the rubber seal from doing its job (retaining the fluid under pressure). The applications that work are typically well engineered.
