Default Tick Master, Tex 0Z700 installed.

I installed it last thursday and have been breaking it in got 200 miles on it today and gave it a little more throttle to see how it felt... FEELS GOOD i'm going to give it another 50 miles or so before i really step into it but it was the first time i seen the TRAC light on in second gear

The pedal is releasing towards the top, i shortened the push rod today about a 1/4 of an inch and it grabs lower but still toward the top of the "throw" of the pedal. Thinking about bleeding it again? from experience when theres air in the line they tend to grab to low maybe its normal any input would be nice.
Hardest part of the install was getting the master lined up and the poly engine mounts did not let the motor flex much making the top bell housing bolt a little tricky.

Couple pics of the clutch installed.

I have the same setup. It grabs at the top too. I like it though, I adjusted it down a little. This clutch is pretty much on or off tho. I didn't "break" mine in as easy as I probably should have. But didn't slip it much at all(still try not to)at first. It feels and grabs incredible. Couldn't be happier.

FYI Textraila requires ZERO break in. Install and beat on it. There is no imbedding period. I use this clutch and the Tick and very pleased on the results. WIth this clutch you almost need the extra fluid.

I bought it through vengeance and just asked what they recommended and they told me to put 2-300 miles on it before I beat on it, o well can't hurt I'm happy with the results plus there's no chatter which I was afraid of.

^ Yea, they gave you the "general answer" as MOST other clutches need that imbedding period. Really should not have done that.
