Sounds like my problem. I put in a tick mc and it shifted great for a while and now it's back o crappy shifting, disengaging at the floor (barely).

I'm in the same boat. I thought my problem was air getting in the line because I didn't have the gasket on the reservoir lid, so I tried getting one and bleeding it again but ita still shifts like crap. Could be a bad slave cylinder?

I've been having the same problem for a LONG time. I can adjust it out some more and it drives great, then a few minutes later it's back to shifting like crap. I've emailed about everyone I can think of and so far everyone is puzzled. Also, when it's cold it wants to scrape going into 5th, and the pedal has a lot of play in it that can be pumped out if I repeatedly pump the mushy spot in it. I've already been thru one tick master as my first one leaked fluid. They were really cool about replacing it though.

I'm thinking that I'm gonna pull the trans and check on my slave and pilot bearing. I've got a monster clutch and I bet that one of those is bad that came with the kit.

I'm getting really tired of shifting issues with this car. T56 hydraulics suck. I just want a mechanical clutch...

That is exactly my problem too. Except mine scrapes 4th when its cold. Keep us updated on if the slave fixes the issues because that is the only thing I can think of right now.
