Default ls7 clutch no worky!!!!

Ok I had problems with my stock clutch. clutch would not engage and the peddle stuck to the floor. It felt like it was not holding any pressure at all.

Durring the install I went ahead and added a new slave and a tick speed bleeder(which works great)! The old slave looked pretty torn up.

Still have the same problems so I am guessing that it is the master. I have a couple questions.

1. when you pump the clutch the fluid in the reservoir would go up. I am guessing that it is not suppose to do that? Before I replaced the clutch I wondered a bit about it. I am wondering if thats a sign that the master is out and if it is would have been helpful before I dropped the tranny and the cash for the clutch.

2. I am debating on spending the extra money for a tick adjustable master. Would it be worth it with a ls7 clutch or would I be better off just getting a regular master w/ drillout mod?

All help would be greatly apprieciated!

I already have the clutch installed. figure its the master too. really wodering if the tick is worth an additional $250.00.

PS I went down to the local chevy house and got all this for $588.00

ls7 clutch
ls7 flywheel

Just to inform everyone I spent 2 weeks looking for the best deal.

I got mine from marksls1ta for $474.99 shipped and a new slave cylinder from oreillys for 79.99..total 554.98 total. i win.

But seriously, I dont think you need the Tick. I thought about it too but the stock master is doing fine with my LS7 clutch. How many miles on your car? I would do the master cylinder. The fluid level should not move as you press the pedal. If you press the pedal really fast that might be a different story.

just rolled over 50k. I figure the regular would work but... Never used a adjustable and am wondering if it is a worth while investment.

1999 SS, stock engine with ls6 intake and 1 7/8 headers. I'd guess 310-320 rwhp.
