Tick clutch master cylinder/what a product!
Originally had replaced my leaking stock clutch master cylinder with a oem one. Was never really happy with unit though,it was a very slow process bleeding this cylinder,plus there were occasional problems with pedal leakdown during a few runs out at the track.
Frustrated,I decided to try the Tick product. Installation was reasonable.
What really impressed me was how easy it was to bench bleed as well as conventionally bleed.I basically bench bled the unit according to instructions they supplied, then bled it at the slave cylinder. After to bleeds at the slave cylinder I had a very solid,short pedal. I put my Mityvac to the test to remove any air bubbles which were very minimal at best.
Had to adjust the rod out a few turns to get it to engage clutch just right{lengthen}
Tested the system with clutch pedal in,high rpm throttle to check clutch disengage,no creeping in gear...Clutch pedal is roughly 1.5 inches lower than brake pedal,roughly even with dead pedal.everything went flawlessly.
Tick Performance,my hat is off to you!.....awesome product,keep it up!
I have yet to bring it back up to the track...can't wait

blackula 99, I agree 100%.
I get tired of a Very Few member's chiming in every time the mention of a Tick adjustable clutch master cylinder.... on how hard it is to push the clutch pedal in, after the Tick install
Get an automatic!

Very satisfied with mine as well. The moderate increase in pedal pressure is more than worth it and besides, I don't even notice it anymore. Muscle-memory is a wonderful thing.

I LOVE my Tick Master Cylinder. While it would make the pedal too stiff for most people on this forum, I love the feel it gave me and shifting feels more positive.

I recently installed one in my car as well and so far I really like it... I like the stiffer pedal personally... the clutch is still slippable but it engages much faster so it will just take some getting used to as far as launching... I haven't been to the track yet but at least I know I will finally be able to find 3rd gear lol

yep, it should sit about 1.5"-2" below the brake pedal and really shouldn't have much freeplay in the pedal at all when properly adjusted... if you back the pedal out too much to where it is even with the brake pedal is when you can do damage to the pressure plate and at that point it will have quite a bit of freeplay in it as well... this is assuming you have a stock clutch as every one will be different as far as pedal height goes

TICK remote bleeder
I bought the $50 Tick remote bleeder for my CTSV..WE put in a new oem LS7 clutch, stock LS7 slave and, correct pilot bearing....easy to bleed from engine bay..3 days ago we got all the gears but reverse, so we bled it again a few different ways ...now no gears wihile running,but with key off gears mesh great.VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Will call Tick today....any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks
sorry for a hijack...but need the damn thing to bleed..btw: No fluid leaks anywhere
