Default Tick is back on CF!

Some of you may know who and what Tick Performance is and the services we offer the Corvette Community.

Some of you may not though. For those that don't here is our website and a Google search will show that we've been in business for over 10 years going on 11 now and make very high performance and high quality parts for late model GM vehicles.

I will be the only person from Tick that posts on CF as it's the only active account we have here so please forward all questions to me if you have one.

Glad to be back guys!

Martin what can you do for me for one of your slave cyls for an LT1 T56?
Have it retrofitted to an older A body having issues with the Gm stuff.
Post or pm either way thanks

Guessing the whole deal

The LT1 master cylinder is 324.99.

Honestly if the slave isn't leaking or it is operating normally, IMO there is no need to replace it.

The master cylinder will extend the TOB further by itself due to it's larger bore and adjustable stroke length.

IMO this is all you need to free up some extra extension on the TOB and get that last bit of disengagement that you need for smooth shifting at high RPM's. It also helps with going into 1st or reverse at a dead stop.

This seems to be a problem with the LTx pull type clutches. Getting my trans out of the shop next week and will put it all together new fork slave also. If Im not happy with the engagement (again!) Ill pick up one of your slaves. What about a bracket just use the one I got

Wish I saw your rebuild site sooner shoot. Overpaid and got less locally fn yay
