The tick master cylinder is worth every penny. I had issues backing into the garage (clutch pedal sinking) and notchyness at high rpm. When I put a cam and longtubes on my 01 z the problem was worse than ever. I’ve heard many good things about tick master cylinders. They are all true. I can shift lightning fast and have absolutely 0 issues with sinking pedal after WOT or getting into the garage. One of the best mods I’ve done to my car. Fits Well, highly recommend bench bleeding the cylinder.
Perfect upgrade for my clutch after installing a diamond stage 2. Grabs amazingly at high RPM and feels firm and predictable. The quick disconnect tool is garbage and I ended up just using pliers and a flathead, but it's only a few bucks so whatever.
This was exactly what I needed to get my Trans-Am to shift when I got in the high rpm's.
Old one went out on me, engaged while pedal was depressed. This one is 10x better performing than last one.
Fast shipping, top quality component, informative instructions, superior customer service. I'm inpressed by the adjustable Master so far. Definitely adds peace of mind knowing I have a quality product with comparable customer service.
Works like a charm! Much needed upgrade over the stock system!
Installed this due to stock fluid being extremely dirty and pedal sticking to the floor. Firmer pedal feel(expected), but the clutch feels like it engages/disengages quicker and fully each time.
Hi All,
I purchased this with high expectation. I am proud to say my expectations were exceeded to say the least. Solid construction, and most importantly YOU ARE GETTING WHAT YOU PAID FOR! Install went as smooth as a well tuned cars dyno graph! I will say i have put a solid 10 miles on it (NY Weather) and got the adjustment spot on first try, i installed per directions and did about 3/4 of a turn more and it was spot on. i do have a shim installed on my slave cylinder so that may have helped me idk... THANK YOU AGAIN ALL THE BEST AND MANY MORE YEARS OF BUSINESS GUYS!!!
Since the day I got my trans am it's had clutch problems I went through 3 sets of autozone hydraulics till I finally bought this tick master and do I hate myself for not getting it sooner. Amazing feel easy installation. Even easier then the crappy oem u bolt. Just overall amazing product. And you just can't beat a high rpm shift that's smoother then butter
2001 trans am would not go into gear after ls7 clutch install. Replaced slave, master, and clutch again still same problem then read on forums and found out about tick master. Installed and bled so easily could not believe now car goes into gear no problems. This is the first time I have ever run into this and would recommend this with any clutch change and fix all your clutch issues.
Upgraded my MC while replacing my slave and clutch, works great. The new setup has a noticeably heavier pedal than stock but I think that is mostly the upgraded clutch.
Wish I installed this 5 clutches ago!
After battling with the no clutch issue on and off for a little while on my 01 SS, I finally bit the bullet and purchased a Ticks Master Cylinder and the problem was corrected. Not difficult to install and easy to adjust. Great feeing pedal and no issues with high RPM shifting. Quality craftsmanship.
Well, I've done a lot of research and it ended here. Bought this bad boy hoping to solve sticking clutch pedal issues. Every time I got on the car, the pedal would stick to the Floor. So annoying!! Everyone advised me to get this MC. So glad I did. For the first time ever, I chirped 3rd in my car. What a feeling! And the clutch came back up. So worried I was going to have to bust open the tranny. Thanks Tick. You made one hell of a Master Cylinder. This thing rocks!
Was my fix after replacing clutch and measurement was correct just needed this master cylinder
By far this is the best part that I've ever bought in for my Camaro it wasn't too bad putting in like everyone else says all I got to say is to Performance you guys are on it this part is the s***
I have had this car since 2009 and really since day one I really never like how the clutch pedal felt.it felt spongee,almost on the floor and sometimes you would have to lift it back up with your foot.could not shift in the upper RPMS . So really I was thinking that it was more than just clutch master cylinder well anyways I went and picked one up from Napa. Well then I started reading up on it and there were a lot of the same problems people were having and they were saying how the Tick master cylinder worked for them so I said this has got to be the solution and damn it was I am so glad I purchased it. It was worth every bit of it.you can just look at it and see the quality verses the stock Gm ones. GM needs to take lessons on this on.if you like you car the way it is now you the buy tick you will love car for sure.
Spending over $300 for a master cylinder seemed very stupid to me originally. However after considering g the clutch and transmission I am running I decided to go for it. This thing performs so much better than I anticipated. So worth it and I would gladly do it again
Couldn't shift into 1st or reverse or power shift at high rpms. After installing the tick master I've had no problems.
My issue was not being able to shift fast/quick above 5K+ to 2nd and 3rd gear, I had a Mccleod master previously and I still had this issue with it not wanted to go into gear above 5k+
Installed the tick , wasn't too bad of a install since I've replace a couple leaky mccleod masters in the past. Anyways got it bled , nice firm pedal, nice engagement, shorter pedal about even with brake pedal. Went for a test drive got in the upper RPMs 6400 and it went into gear smooth as butter. I couldn't believe it . I've been dealing with this issue for 5+ years. Very pleased Thanks.
Took a bit of time to get it in the car, but the results exceeded my expectations by far. Eliminated sticky clutch totally. Shifting even at redline was buttery smoothness. I couldn't be happier.
Installed this with a stage 2 monster, monster 28lb flywheel, arp hardware, and a new gm slave and speed bleeder from tick in a 02 SS Camaro. After 1000 miles the lightweight flywheel would have been nice, but I don't regret anything in this setup.
Bench bleed this before you install, then bleed again after install! With some finesse it dropped in place and bolted up fine. Several write ups online if you search. Also, you'll need to adjust your cruise control bracket that touches the clutch pedal due to the shorter clutch travel.
Pedal IS stiffer, in part due to the clutch combo, but the clutch feels and shifts way better than factory. This is a must for all performance drivers. Can't thank tick and monster enough for their awesome customer service and staff. Heads and cam next...
Hands down the best master cylinder on the market . Before I got it I couldn't hardly get my car in reverse or downshift at all I thought my new clutch was junk after in installed my adjustable master cylinder from tick it was like a whole new clutch great pedal very easy to shift and it practically falls into gear.
As a broke college kid, it was hard to get the reason to buy this but I'm really happy I did. It is a night and day difference. Shifts so much smoother at low and high rpm. No more notchiness in the shifter. Highly recommended it.
Tight to install but worth every minute it took to install and bleed, no more soft pedal ,no more sticking , shifts from gear to gear smooth as can be , the tick master cylinder is a must have in any t56 equipped fbody , I had a weak pedal now it pushes like the south bend in my 08 cummins , clutch has never worked so good thanks tick
I could not get the car in gear at idle with the stock 4th gen master. I had to hammer the wheel well some to fit it, but this is not made for a 3rd gen. This master works great!
Purchased my tick my master an put it in the other day very impressed all around is a bit of a pain to put in an bleed and adjust to your preference a very finess master but worth every penny especially when you race from a dig quite frequent no more sticky pedal
I installed this in my 02 Camaro SS and what can I say.. a huge difference. My shifts are smooth as butter. I wished they would have include a new reservoir to complete this package. Don't buy the GM quick disconnect tool as it doesn't work. Instead I had to use a flat head screw driver. If you want to only replace your master clutch cylinder once this is the one to get. It will not let you down. Yes its a bit hard to push in the clutch, but it makes me feel as if I'm driving a race car now :)
I will have to say best upgrade for m6 car
02 transam ws6. Tranny rebuild, new center force clutch and tick master. Everything works great install was not to bad (tight but defiantly doable) I also have long tube headers that made it a little tighter but I didn't have to take anything apart. Just waiting to brake my clutch in a little more then I can play with the adjustments. But right she is thighs and bang on. Totally worth it
Been putting off the purchase of this master cylinder for a while. Not so smart on my part. Install went as expected from all the reviews I've read. The pedal feels awesome, a little stiffer but shorter and faster engagement. I was pretty sure I had burnt up my clutch at the track 2 weeks ago but now it feels brand new again.
Get it!!
Getting the tick performance adjustable master cylinder not only improved my shifts. It eliminated high RPM 'dead pedal' 100%, and also improves the shifting with the stock shifter to an aftermarket point.
So buy the tick adjustable MC and essentially you get the flow to never have another clutch problem of dead pedal, and it saves money you'd normally want to spend on an after market shifter.... unless of course i've just got the #DriverMod.
Works really goood
After rebuilding my T56 and installing a Spec 3+ I didn't get to enjoy my new setup long before the stock master cylinder bit the dust. The tick master cylinder was just what the doctor ordered and can I say, I am extremely impressed. Installation was a little tricky thanks to GMs engineering but once it was nestled in behind the brake booster and all of the air was bled out (using the tick speed bleeder of course) my camaro was alive. Adjustment was a breeze, making a rotation here and there until I could easily get into reverse.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who has a f-body with the stock restrictive clutch master cylinder.
Does just what it is advertised to do. Eliminates all the hassles of the stock master cylinder. Replaced original Master cylinder with a Duralast MS after installing Stage 2 clutch and new GM slave from Tick couldn't get car in any gear while idling. Was going to pull the trans AGAIN :( to recheck the throw out bearing clearance. Instead I decided to try the Tick Master cylinder based on reviews and Ticks claims. Again Tick comes through with a great product. I am so glad I found Tick Performance. Great people!
Love this product! I first tried to save a buck and installed a Ram adjustable master...mistake! Returned it and ordered the Tick.
Man this tick clutch master is great it took me 2hrs to Install now my peddle is ferm stick shift great
Easy to install, clutch pedal feels great. I made the mistake of installing a Monster stage 3 clutch and using the stock master cylinder. The stock master cylinder failed within 700 miles of installing the clutch. I would recommend installing the tick adjustable master when installing a new clutch!
Can't believe I didn't do this sooner. No more grinding shifting at high RPMs. Even shifting over 6k is smooth as butter now. If you have a 6 speed you need this, end of story.
I was starting to have a problem where my clutch pedal was completely sticking to the floor. I'd have to lift it up with my toes and pump it a few times to get pressure back into it. I was going to just bleed the system and see if it worked, but I figured I'd upgrade my master cylinder in the process.
Installed it yesterday, drove it around some yesterday and all of today. I really can't express how happy I am with this product! The shifting is insanely smooth and much more responsive. I would go as far as to say this is a MUST HAVE for my fellow f-body owners. I feel like I'm driving a whole different car with this thing on, a much more badass one!
SAVE UP AND MAKE THIS YOUR FIRST UPGRADE!
Product worked just as described. The clutch pedal sticking and slow shifts drove me crazy, but after I installed this master cylinder I can chirp third gear with ease. This master cylinder made my camaro a whole new car.
works really good with the monster clutch.Stock was terrible with this monster clutch.Would have liked some photos for installation
Install wasn't as difficult as expected; didn't need to pull anything but the old master to get the Tick in. Nothing like being able to adjust pedal feel for a finicky driver. Pedal is stiffer but firm and responsive.
Easy to install and very tough product
Love it! Absolutely fixed the high rev shifting and peddle is not as stiff as I thought it would be. Highly recommend.
Stiffer pedal but engagement is sooner just like advertized!
Holy S%*t, Y I didn't do this mod first kills me. Prolly would have saved some life on the tranny to. I can actually drive it like I want to now. I'm so happy now & to b honest I almost wanted to switch to a auto (shame on me for even thinking that).
I didn't think this was worth buying and thought I needed a transmission rebuild. Let me tell you I threw one of these bad boys in and all my problems have been solved. Thanks again tick performance.
Wow...its seriously like cutting butter every time I shift..even at high rpm with some good numbers. Simply amazing and I would personally like to say thank you to tick for simply being awesome.
WoW the best product I've got in years, I put it to the test flawless easy shifting, quick shifting love it thanks Tick I'll get more product from ya'll aging.
This thing if absolutely fantastic. The build quality is 1 million times better than factory. The peddle is perfect even with alittle bit of air in the system I'm still bleeding. Took it out last night for the first time to row through the gears and it was amazing. I'm so used to a dead peddle that it honestly surprised me when the peddle was still up and stiff and ready for action. Now i have to learn how to drive my car fast again.......darn :). Thanks to Tick for fixing the long standing issue with the 4th Gens. Couldnt be happier, anyone hesitating on buying this because of price, just wait another month and pull the trigger. Completely worth it.
Easily the best upgrade I have done to my 2000 Z28! It took me about 6 hours to install by myself, 2 of those hours were just staring at my car trying to figure out how the hell the Tick MC was going to fit in there! After all the forums and research I did there was no question I was going to buy a Tick Master Cylinder! At first I thought the price was a little high but when I got it installed and took it for a drive, I was ready to buy another one just to put it on display! I bled the MC before I installed it and didn't bother bleeding the slave and have no problems! If you're looking at this product just buy it and be ready to kick yourself for not making it the first aftermarket part you installed on your car!
From the day I bought this 98 Trans Am I have fought with the clutch problem! I couldn’t shift into reverse without shutting the engine off! I had the chance from the beginning to buy the Tick Master but the price always drove me away.. After changing Two Master cylinders (to gm and doing the “drill mod”), two slave cylinders, and the clutch (I swapped the clutch, master and slave all at the same time) I still had the same issues. After installing the tick mc all my problems went away! I never write reviews, but after the frustration I went through, I can only hope this will save another m6 owner a lot of headache! I did have a problem with waiting on shipment, but tick made it right.. well worth the wait!!
Tick MC was used on my 02 WS6 M6. Solved the horrible sticky clutch problem, highly recommend this product. Most of the time was spent removing the stock MC. Bench bleeding the Tick MC before installing it back is the way to go. I bench bled the tick then just connected back to the slave without bleeding the slave after install. Everything worked great and clutch feels firm like stated. I'm really happy with the outcome. Total install time spent for me was 3 hours (including interior). And this is the first time I install a part like this.
I used the master cylinder on my 68 charger with t 56 magnum
I was going to use it on my 84 monte SS but I will buy the kit again for my monte it worked out awesome!
Just like most of the reviews on here- I was blown away by the Tick Performance Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder. I was extremely hesitant about purchasing the product, because it's not the cheapest, and I don't race my car. In fact, my 02 SS Camaro, Build #1338, has 23,000 miles on the odometer and it's completely stock. Well, that was until I purchased and installed this item.
Installation wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been. I'll be the first to admit that comparing the two cylinders side by side, I would have never thought that the Tick would have fit. However, I was proved wrong. The instructions inform you that you may have to move a wire harness that runs along the frame; I did not, so I may have been lucky. But what I did do was loosen all 4 nuts for the brake booster so I could move the booster about an inch. I also removed #7 Spark Plug Wire as well. Once the cylinder was down underneath the brake booster, it slid right into place.
My wife was inside of the car starting the bolts and directing me on which way to move it. Just like the instructions stated, she was able to start the lower one first, by hand, and then we concentrated on the second bolt. Everything else went back together with ease! I bench bled the cylinder before installation, so bleeding it was really easy and fast.
The clutch feels amazing!! Now, I don't shift the car at high RPM's, and I've never taken my stock LS1 over 5,500 RPM's but the clutch no longer sticks the floor, and the shifts are perfect. I couldn't be more happier!!
As my title reads, I'd recommend this product to anyone that has a GM T56 6-Speed, no matter what type of car it is!! It's worth every penny!!
The last thing I was to say to Tick Performance is- Thank You for the Military Discount and Thank You for all you do for our Service Members!! Those that wear the uniform with Pride, Truly Appreciate the discount!!
Well I just got done installing my new tick and was able to spin the motor to 7k and it shifted so fast! Before anything over 5-5.5k. It would have just locked you out so say. That's a 325.00 well spent to get to run the car the way it was built.
Thanks for designing a great product!
Its an awesome replacement. Was a little difficult to install, but ones in, no regrets. Just takes patiens. Works like a champ. Had to buy a longer bolt because it wouldnt reach the thread. Just one of them. That could of been the way it was installed though. But all in all, a vary good product. Clutch engadges right away. Nice and solid and short. Good good product.
Easy installation and quality product. Very pleased.
I would advise to cover up the threads on shaft before installing, messed mine up when installing. Other than it being hard to get to, product does it job great!
Tick has hit the nail on the head with this product! I finally reached my limit with missed shifts and bought the Tick clutch master cylinder for my 2000 TA. It now shifts like a dream! Installation takes some patients, dont force it in, just keep rotating it and wiggiling the wiring harness and it will fit. I installed it by myself but an assistant will make it easier to get the bolts in. I bench bled it before install and it required minimal bleeding. Overall i have 2300 miles on the master cylinder and I couldnt be happier with it and its american made! Thanks Tick Performance!
Looking on this site I see every one of my shifting problems described. This unit was a bit of a pain to get into place, but it's worth the effort! The difference in the smoothness of the shift is unbelievable. The most recent issue I had was the crashed pedal when I was 80 miles from home. In my opinion, GM should have to provide these TICK clutch masters as a free warranty fix for their piece of junk master cylinder!!! Thanks TICK...your product is golden!
I love this new master cylinder! Old master cylinder was engaging the clutch too high and i didnt like it, so i bought this one hoping it would deliver... and it does! Engagement point is right off the floor and is pretty stiff. Only problem i had was getting the old master cylinder out, and the Tick MC didnt exactly line up with old holes. top bolt is a little crooked but no big deal. 5 out of 5.
Put this mc in last week. Adjusted as instructed, drove it once, gave it aliittle more adjustment (less then 1/2" below brake pedal) and its a whole new car. The aftermarket mc I put in (mcl-139001) less than 30,000 miles ago started to fail, even when it was new it never came close to your mc. The feel of clutch & consistancy of its engagement tells me I don't have to wonder about my next gear change at any RPM! Love you guys
Easy to install, comes with a tips and tricks sheet. Easy to adjust and works excellent.
The feel of my clutch now is like driving a muscle car with the stiffness of a mechanical linkage, and the smooth even engagement of hydraulics. No wonder why everyone is nuts over this thing. The only thing I have to add is before you try moving the wiring harness their is a clamp that the harness needs to be unhooked from between the firewall & shock tower, also in the same area as the clamp look for a small two wire harness that comes out of the bottom of the harness otherwise you might get the MC hung up on it. I did. 2002 SS
Don't wait any longer to get one of these. I needed one for one of my 2002 Camaros. What a difference, like night and day. I'm pissed that I had settled for the sub-standard factory setup for eleven years. Ordering a second one for my other Camaro. Had a local shop do the install on the first, but they didn't do the adjustment. Clutch didn't engage until all the way out. 15 minutes of adjustment cured that. I can't remember the last time I was so happy with a purchase. Maybe a little pricey, but it is worth every penny.
Thx tick, I was thinking bout selling my t/a because every time I raced, the pedal would get stuck to the floor and i could never drive the car the way it was meant to b driven. My car runs great now and i love it!
I did a T-56 swap on my 3.8V6 Firebird and this little gem came in handy. The clutch engagement point along with the hydraulic throwout bearing being spaced to accommodate the adapter plate is changed a little bit.
Using an adjustable clutch Master like this one from Tick made my life a lot easier!
Shifts like a dream, and I recommend it to others.
Works great and fits good.
It is much higher quality than OEM. I can't wait to install it this weekend.
Bought it. Waited a while to install it because I'm a noob at mechanical stuff, but got some help from some friends who knew what they were doing. It took us about 1-2 hours and MAN IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! Car shifts with no fuss now. Allows you to drive the car like it was meant to b driven.
I had been fighting high rpm shifts for awhile. I had read a ton of positive Tick reviews and finally pulled the trigger on one of these.
I wish I wouldn't have waited so long. The car is a whole different machine. Shifts are super crisp at any rpm and pedal travel is minimal to disengage the clutch.
I love this thing. I can't wait to nip a few tenths off my ET at the track.
Thanks for a great product, and special thanks to Martin for his help on the sale as well as some other racing advice.
First the bad, the instructions aren't very helpful for someone who never installed a master, but youtube and searching forum posts to find pictures of what I needed to do, fixed that. Ok now the good, the product is absolutely awesome, I had a monster stage 2 clutch installed a few months ago, and was experiencing a lot of engagement issues with reverse, 1st and 3rd gears. (I was going to have the transmission rebuilt actually) I also had the sticky clutch issue. But this fixed everything, and my clutch pedal is superb. If you upgrade your clutch, upgrade your master! The car feels and drives as if it was brand new.
The problems I was having with my clutch failing at high RPM is solved with the larger master cylinder. The only problem is that the installation with headers is a lot more complicated and takes longer than the 90 minutes and you really need a rack, but it is well worth the effort. Good job Tick. Be sure and add in your instructions to make sure that the old master cylinder is on the outside of the firewall before you take off the fill hose.
A++++++++ AS soon as you have a problem with pedal to the floor pay the money and get it!
Don't let the price of this thing scare you. It makes the stock master look like a cheap toy.....Install wasn't too bad even though its a bit bigger than the stocker. Pedal feels great, and the car shifts like a dream now!
the title basically says it, if your driving a manual 4th gen you need to do this UPGRADE, not really a mod in my book, quick the difference is night and day! definitely a must do dobt hesistate just do it!
-Product quality is light years ahead of the stock setup.
-Did a one man install and it was a breeze after reading "how to's" online. Did a bench bleed and used a mityvac once installed and it was too easy!
-Pedal firmness did take me a min to get used to.
-Took it to the track (MIR) and was able to shift without taking my foot off the gas!
-Def recommend this product.
The f-body master cylinder for the six speed is by far a superior product compared to everything ive tried. Its designed very well, its well built, and will outperform the factory setup hands down. Its definitely a tight fit when installing but for a trained professional its a walk in the park.
Works excellently. Definitely need two people to install preferably both of them contortionists with skinny arms. Two overweight fifty-somethings it is a handful to install. Clutch feels much better than it ever did. I used pinch clamps on the hoses to hold them better than the ties.
I got my part in last night, it has brought my 6 speed to life. Effortless shifting into all 6 gears and reverse. No sticky clutch pedal, no missed shifts, no pumping up the clutch. If only I could’ve gotten it a month ago before the track closed for the winter. Thanks You Tick Performance!! I'll be leaving some Awesome feedback on Ebay.
Only Con: UPSP delivered 5 days later then they said, but that's not your fault!
Pro's: Good quality construction and parts seem to function perfectly only had to bleed system 2 times for good petal feel.
Enjoyed having the after-market bolts rather than the OEM style U bolt and nuts (much easier to line up installed with one
person). Good instructions making the first time install go smoothly.
Con's: It is still a very tight fit and getting past the factory wire harness under the hood will prove a bit difficult (i
was able to just tug up on the harness a bit and slide the Master past with out much trouble tho). The after-market piece is maybe a little over built for the application making it a little hard to install not really a big con as it is still possible to install with out too much fighting, it was cold out 30deg F when i was doing the install from start to finish it took me alone about 2 and half hours and half of that was getting the factory one out.
Other thoughts: I am a bit concerned by the instructions saying that you can over extend your slave and cause damage to your clutch spring (all seems to work well and i played with some different settings to see where my shifting was smooth and was careful not to adjust just far enough so that everything went smoothly and all has been well now for 1500 miles). The factory
MS is a longer throw and imo feels better if you get one that works (longer petal distance)... however from my experience i have had a few that are no good from the factory. And i believe even tho the petal wont sit as close to you the feel is still really good and functionality is excellent and the ability to make adjustments gives me piece of mind that i will have good feel no matter what setup i use down the road or how wore my clutch is, time will tell :) I would like to add that would be nice if Tick Performance could add a clip on the side of the master to hook the line to would be handy too keep the line close to the body and away from my headers (i used a couple of zip ties to do this how ever it was no easy job). Also i would like to see a metal sleeve for removing the line from the slave assembly or something a little better than the factory coupling/releasing design. Over all I am very happy with this upgrade and would recommend this to anyone having issues with shifting.
I also wanted to thank Tick Performance for taking the time to create this custom MS its greatly appreciated to have a good quality piece available to us enthusiasts.
2000 Z28 WITH MILLED LS6 HEADS, LS6 INTAKE, BBK THROTTLE BODY, K&N CIA, LONG TUBE HEADERS,CENTERFORCE CLUTCH, NOT SURE ON CAM BUT SUPPOSEDLY 560/580 LIFT. CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT ANYTHING ABOVE 3000RPM, BEST 1/4 WAS 12.89, INSTALLED MASTER CYLINDER AND NOTHING ELSE AND RAN 12.06 SPINNING ON LAUNCH!!! THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST MOD IF I EVER DO ANOTHER BUILD!!! FIRST QUALITY AND SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER HAD THE CHANCE TO TALK TO!!!
stock master cylinder was going quick, saw the price and was a little hesitant. After installing it i realized that it is worth every penny! best mod for the car in my opinion. if you don't have this M/C in your car what are you waiting for??
Car has around 340rwhp.. problem was that the hydrolic fluid was heating up not making pressure and preventing smooth shifts. Also my pedal was softer but the clutch didn't chatter or slip. So I put this in which was time consuming considering the tight area but its working great now and keeps the pressure for the pedal to come back up. Thanks tick
I am stationed in Germany, where I frequently drive my 2002 Z28 at max MPH. I frequently had issues anytime I would reline my car on the Autobahn when driving at top speeds. Since I got the Tick Master Cylinder, I have not had any issues at all. Best of all, I tested the product driving my car at red line for extended periods of time, and I was never locked out of any gears at all.
Finally replaced my clutch master cylinder and it is awesome! Love the adjustable feature.
Before, I had to shift into third at turtle speed, and now its like i could blow on the shifter and it would change gears! I cant wait to install my MGW short throw and see how well it works with your wonderful product! Tranny is starting to grind though, so a Tick stage 2 T56 should be coming soon :) thanks again! awesome product!!
I've had the Tick M/C in my '99 Z28 for about 8 months now, and compared to the old M/C it's like night and day -- the Tick shifts so smoothly at high RPM, I can just zip through the gears when I need to and don't have to worry about grinding or fighting to get it in gear -- it just goes! It makes driving such a pleasure. Joey and the other folks at Tick were very friendly and helpful in answering a few questions I had. For anyone in the L.A. area, I highly recommend Leon's Transmission in Reseda -- they did my installation and, like the folks at Tick, they are top-notch professionals with tons of experience. For the price, the Tick M/C is totally worth it. Thanks guys, for an awesome product!
Just got the master cylinder installed in my 02 TA. I had to drop a line and say thank you, and to anyone on the fence about this product should fall off and GET IT!!!
This made my clutch pedal firmer. Still working on the fine tuning adjustments but so far an outstanding product. This is a must for any 6 speed GM car!
tick master is the way to go, that is the best part i think i have got for my car yet
I just wanted to let you know that I got the mcleod rst and the adjustable master is the cats ass.I can't get over how easy it shifts at high RPM. A baby could shift it LOL. I will spread the news about you guys with the adjustable master.
My stock MC was making it hard to even shift at anything past 3K, and it was getting really annoying. Just getting it into gear from a stop was a chore, and reverse was even worse. Once the Tick was installed, it felt like a totally different car now. I can shift at 6k with no problem in all gears, and catch 2nd and a little of 3rd now, and this is with the stock clutch. 75K total on my SS, and I highly recommend getting the TICK if you are having shifting problems, or get it before you start having shifting problems.
I recently purchased one of your Tick Performance Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder Kits and at first i was pissed that i had to spend 300 dollars but let me tell you this was the best investment by far. The car is a totally different car the shifting is amazing. The car is a fully built lq9 cast iron 6.0 with 577 hp to the wheels. I used to have problems with getting into third or into reverse and now i have no issues at all, the car shifts a thousand times better. I tell everyone i know that has an fbody that this is deffinetly the part they need from stock to a full built motor. This product is absolutly amazing thank you for being such a great company. I bought alot of parts from tick and swear by Tick you guys are gods in the fbody world.
When I had my sixspeed setup I had this Master, and it was what allowed me to bang thru the gears shifting at 6500 RPM and actually get into gear. seems pricey, but once you have it, youll wish you got it earlier.
Got my tick adj master, thanks for the fast delivery and just a all around perfect product. All my hydraulics problems are gone. I give u 4 thumbs up. anyone with shift problems are hydraulics problems give them a call first u want regret it.
All I have to say,Guys will 6 speeds you need to get this.This thing rocks. I can't beleive that the shifter goes like butter.Great job guys on design and R and D. Tick has there shit together
billet aluminum mounting bracket the whole master cylinder is Heavy duty all the way to the Eye loop at the end.. big thumbs up to those guys. Installed it with in an hour bleed it and all .. did some slight adjustment and took it for a drive.. . took first gear all the way up and snatched second and the tires ripped.... took second up caught third.. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. I need to do some fine tuning on the adjustment cuz im scared of over pushin the pressure plate. . Great product.I have never been able to get on the car the way i can now and it feels like a whole new beast.
and it's soooo freaking amazing, i used to have constant problems power shifting and now with the new master the process is seamless and shifts go in every single time
I bought my Tick MC last year around May, and It was an instant improvement over stock combined with the monster clutch setup I ordered with it. About 4 months ago the adjustment rod on the the MC stripped out somehow on one end. I called Tick and talked to Joey. He looked up my order info and shipped out a new rod at NO COST TO ME AT ALL. The new part showed up very quickly. Great product and OUTSTANDING customer service! I have recommended this MC and Tick in general to several people and will be sending my T56 to Tick for a Level 2 rebuild within the next year.
I installed it in my wife's cam/full bolt ons WS6, and the feel was night and day, even with the stock clutch! The pedal is firm, but still very driveable. Theres also no wasted space in the pedal travel. Took minutes to install, and not much longer to adjust! I cant wait to use it again, when the car goes back together with more power and a better clutch!
It's nice to just bump the clutch pedal @ WOT and know it's going to work.
wish there were more of you out there man !
I've had my Tick MC for about a month but yesterday was the first 50* day this year. Took myself and a buddy 1.5 hours from start to bleed and adjustment. Very easy install. Also, after a few miles, another adjustment, and remembering to remove the clutch pedal spring the whole system works like butter. I am very impressed. By far, this mod has changed the way this car drives more than any other that I've done.
I've had my F-body version since they became available on the market.
Took a 3600 mile road trip from California to Texas/Louisiana and back. Lots of local stop and go traffic, spirited driving, speed shifts, slowshifts, whatever I can throw at it.
My Tick m/c stays happy with periodic hydraulic fluid changes too.
best mod for a m6 period! if you can't shift you can't do jack...
I recommend your master to my local guys also. My car is so much more fun to drive now.
thank you
After having my McLeod unit fail on me I started to hate driving my car. Your master put the joy back into my SS. Thank you tick performance!
Very nice product that is a must have for sure!
I owe you some lunch!!!
After i got mine and got back to being able to mow down the shifts everybody I know or seen me run around here bought one within a couple of months. Thanks Tick for the awsome products!!!
Even the speed bleeder is worth its weight in gold and a life saver
hands down the best hydrualic master around for these cars.
i just wanted to tell you that i'm completely blown away by what your Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder has done for my car.
i have a 98 Mecham T/A, production #004, with a well-built LS7, 577 rwhp. i was experiencing horrendous shifting problems at high rpm. shift refusals (not going into third) and rarely i was unable to get the car OUT of 1st or 2nd gear without having to double-clutch! terrible. i had your piece installed and i've been thrashing the car for the last few days. these problems have completely disappeared. i'm truly astounded, the car is now a joy to drive.
your kit is a wonderful, extremely heavy-duty well-made piece of equipment. you have my full endorsement and i will certainly spread the word among local F-body owners. and when i burn up my T-56 i assure you i'll be replacing it with a TICK!!!
Installed the master cylinder and it fixed my sticking clutch issue immediatly. Really improved the feel of the clutch pedal and the clutch response. Definitly recommend
