Default Tick Performance Remote Clutch bleeder Line Worth it?

So I am going to be buying the LS7 clutch package pretty soon here as my stock clutch is on its last leg. I am also going to buck up and get the Tick Perf. adjustable master cylinder installed as well.

I was wondering, since I'm spending that much dough anyways, should I get the Tick Performance Remote Clutch Bleeder Line (for 50 bucks) since I'll be installing the master and clutch anyways?

I'm pretty sure I'm going to, as it seems like the line is long enough to feed it towards the clutch fluid reservoir, eliminating the need to be under the car during a clutch bleed, which makes that extra 50 bucks more than worth it.

But I'm just seeing everyone else's opinion and if hey have done this as well. Thanks!

You're a fool if you don't buy one while you're doing the clutch. A quick search in this section will show that bleeding our systems is one of the biggest problems people have, with a remote bleeder it makes solving that problem so much easier.

without a doubt get it, you have to bleed the system so many times on these cars.

If you're replacing a clutch, it's a no brainer.

If you like having two people, jacking up your car, laying under it, getting fluid all over the inside of the bell housing/ floor, smashing your hand between the tunnel and the tranny just to get to the bleeder... then don't get one.

Haha well it seemed like a no brainer but I wanted to see everyone thoughts on the subject. It seems to be well worth it especially considering the costs for a clutch swap anyways, might as well do it while I can.

Don't worry y'all I'll be installing one asap haha thanks!

Definitely worth it! With a motive power bleeder, you just pressurize the system and submerge the extension line in brake fluid, and you're done quick - no need for a helper.

Yes. you need full access to the slave cylinder. you need to remove the stock bleed screw and then screw the speedbleeder line into the slave...it will be nearly impossible unless you remove the trans
