Default Tick Master vs Mcleod Master?

Heard a lot of good things about the tick master looking for input on the mcleod as well. Putting a Mcleod RST in the car as well.

I have absolutely nothing good to say about a Tick Master.... stay away!!! Be warned, once you put that thing on you better have super strong thighs. The pedal pressure is tremendously harder than stock. Further, the pedal pressure is not constant across the pedal excursion range either. The engagement is very fast... sneaks up on you.

Just for the record...I had a Tick professionally installed (and subsequently uninstalled). I actually called them up and asked... is this really how this thing is supposed to behave? They said yes.

I have no experience with McLeod

I'm running the Mcleod rxt with a Tick master, street/strip with no issues, you won't always need the Tick some do some don't every car is different, mine with slave shimmed still needed it

the tick master is not a problem for me either, their standard bore does make the pedal a bit firmer but it is not that bad... they also offer a stock bore master that should not increase pedal effort if your leg can't handle a little more pressure... I wasn't even aware that mcleod offered an adjustable master, they probably got tired of losing money to tick because so many of their clutches needed an adjustable master in order to shift properly
