RAM clutch adjuster
Last winter I replaced the clutch master cylinder in my 07 Z06 with a TICK unit to lower the engagement point. While researching a cure for the same problem in my friends Mustang GT, I ran across a RAM clutch adjuster. I think this would have been a lower cost and less labor intensive alternative.
Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these. Probably be a winter project for the Mustang.

Not really,
Hence the tick mastter will move more fluid than the oem with the same amount of pedal push, even with the linkage pin moved on the pedal shaft, and you never want to over throw the TB too deep into the pressure plate fingers to over stress them.
So the adjustment with the tick on the C6 is to adjust the pedal all the way down so it just shifts into reverse easily/ to just gets the clutch to fully disengage and that is it for the amount that you are driving the TB forwards into the pressure plate spring fingers.
Hence you start with about 1" of no pressure on the pedal as you press it down by hand from it upwards home position and in the end when set correctly, will end up between 3/4" and 1/2" of free play at the top of the stroke.
As for the ram unit, yes, it will allow you change the engagement point clutch to pedal stroke, but if you have the engagement point too far down in the pedal stroke, then the clutch may not be fully disengaged with the pedal all the way down, and will not allow the car to be put into reverse cleanly instead.
