I'm having trouble with my master cylinder/t56 combo in my new edge mustang. The shop that did the swap said a Tick wouldn't work so they went with a McLeod. This thing is dawn near impossible to get into 1st or reverse until she's good and warmed up and it won't go into gear at upper rpms. It's really starting to **** me off lol and I just can't see how a Tick wouldn't work.

Anyone do this swap before? I know most go auto when they do the swap in mustangs so I'm just praying someone has a t56 lol.

Any info would be nice! Thanks boys!

Has this been a issue since Day 1 or did it just happen? The wrong lube in the trans will do that too.

Day 1. But I had a guy in STL bleed it and adjust the master and it shifted like butter for about a month and now it's acting up again

ASSume you've checked the fluid level? Possibly sucked some air in the system? These things love to be flushed and bled every so often...

Fluid level is good...Air is the only culprit I can think of but this master keeps adjusting from vibrations and such so it's frustrating.

A tick, as in tick master? Their master cylinders are made by a company called tilton.

Yea a tick master cylinder. I'll look into that. I just know it's a good unit and wondered what people have used that have done a ls/t56 swap in a mustang have used
