I'm sure you meant clutch m/c.
Here is my experience w/the tick adjustable clutch m/c.
Took my car to the strip, late last fall.
For the first time since I've owned my 03 Z (bought it new) the pedal started not wanting to come up all the way @ the strip.
I still have the original stock hydraulics & ls/6 clutch.
I've allways kept the clutch hydraulics clean w/Prestone Syn Dot 4 fluid.
So, I was thinkinking I may need a new slave? clutch? pressure plate? or a new clutch m/c ?
I opted to start @ the clutch m/c. I installed the Tick in the winter.
Went to the strip this last Wednesday & the3 car shifted flawlessly.
I like the fact that you can adjust the pedal as to where the clutch will catch close to the top of the pedal throw.
Long story short. I like the Tick unit alot.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Had flawless shifting capabilities prior to a clutch install. After teh install, I starte dot experience high RPM shift issues from 2nd to 3rd gear. It was so bad, it was embarrassing.
After considerations, I went with the TICK Clutch master Cylinder. Despite the installation woes I faced with the clutch line separator and reinstalling the clutch pedal.....All my shift issues are gone.
Fine tuning the adjustment is imperative.
I am happy with my purchase and performance results; not the install. Hahahahaha

The tick is the bomb! Makes shifting at readline a snap. Just be careful with adjustments.. I learned this the hard way a year ago when I had it adjusted wrong and it over extended my clutch pressure plate, and my clutch exploded. No bueno...

. To the OP, be sure about the Tick bc your pedal is damn sure gonna get more stiff after its installation.

It works!
I had disengagement issues with a Mcloed dual disk,
The Tick(Tilton 75 series)is something that does work for a change.For a c6 or any car other than c5 it comes with a billet aluminum adapter housing.The c5 is mounted as it comes from Tilton.The kit is high for c5 but more than fare for others.It took 6 hours total and the pedal spring is removed .This gave me harder pedal but that's ok.I turned up the boston and added Toyota proxi ra1 335-30-18 tires and Wow!!
Now the clutch (Rxt top of the line from Mcloed) slips at the higher Rpm 's in third and forth.
The tick kit is worth the money .Just a little slow on shipping so order a head of time.

Thank you guys for the kind words! Our Adjustable Master Kit for the C5 is cheaper than any other kit we offer ($279.99) and we update it's availability constantly on our website, here: http://www.tickperformance.com/produ...-Corvette.html
We do our best to keep all our kits on the shelf and ready to ship, but they are popular and do sell out quickly when supply is limited.
Also, we do ship internationally using Bongo, an international exporter. For more information, see here: http://www.tickperformance.com/pages...kup%20Policies
Thanks again folks - we appreciate all of your business!
