Default Another Monster/Tick success

I finally installed my Level 3 Monster and Tick master.

The hydraulics bleed in less than 10 minutes with the Tick remote bleeder. The speed bleeder made it nice. I found it went really quick one I adjusted the master most of the way out.

I can tell the clutch is grabby - but it has minimal chatter. After 30 miles I really only notice it in reverse.

The car shifts amazing - it's not notchy at all, just nice and smooth.

I did have to adjust the master a little. The car shifted fine at the shortest rod length - but I just couldn't drive it, it was like a switch. I took it out a few turns and now I have some pedal to work with.

I'll give it a 500 miles and then we'll see how well it really works. I'm sure the rear will be crying.

Glad to hear you like it!

The pedal pressure should be in the 8-10% stiffer range.

The car had a POS LUK clutch in it and bad hydraulics........it felt like there wasn't anything but the clutch return spring before.

Now it actually feels like something - I'm just not used to it yet.

Chatter is hardly noticeable.

500 miles and counting.

Chatter is gone. Pedal Pressure isn't as stiff.

From a roll it get rubber in 3rd and 4th. From a dig - it feels great, it's exactly what I wanted. You can slip it enough to not shock the drive train.

I need to get my nittos mounted and then off to the track I go.

9 passes and it worked flawless.

Everyone commented about chirping the drag radials in 4th

Update over 1200 miles and 25 track passes - this clutch gets it done.

I made 12 passes last trip to the track.

I made a pass -hot lapped the car and then let it cool. The clutch and hydraulics worked flawless.

This combo begs to be power shifted. I was chirping my ET streets when I hit fourth.
