Thats exactly what I thought. I knew I needed to bleed a little air out but I figured since I am doing a twin turbo build, I better spend the $300 and get a good fix.

I also figured I would spend $300 before I sprung for a $1200-$1500 twin disk clutch

I had the sticky clutch pedal and also hard getting into gear with the stock 04 clutch with 444rwhp and 414tq. I put in a Spec twin recently and the sticky clutch pedal is gone, although I do still have a hard time getting into gear at high rpms so it looks like a Tick adjustable is in this weeks future!

I just ordered the Tick master cylinder because of resistant engagement at high rpm (Ram twin-disk "street dual"). I hope this fixes things

. After reading the above posts I am pretty confident it will.

my guess would be yes, it should solve any clutch hydraulic/disengagement issues.

It is really not that bad of a job. I got the old master cylinder (Ram adjustable), hydraulic line, and reservoir pulled in about 30 minutes. The clutch pedal assembly came out in another 10 minutes (use a 13mm gear wrench). I just got done drilling the two holes required to mount the new Tilton master. Tomorrow afternoon I will finish up. I assume the only frustrating part will be getting the 3 nuts that hold the clutch pedal assembly back on the studs.

I wonder if one could buy the MC straight from tilton and build their own adjustable MC...this should save a few $$$. Any thoughts on which model this MC is...Im thinking its the 75 series. If not then a Tick will definitely be in order.
