Default More praise for the Tick Adjustable Master Cylinder

So I installed my Tick MC today. Overall typical f-body experience. Mostly wishing there was more room. Took a couple of hours, most of which was spent trying to disconnect the old unit from the bell-housing.

But I must say, I wish I'd done this months ago. The whole driving experience is different, and in a very good way. Banging 3rd at high RPM is a breeze now, as well as dropping into 3rd from 6th which I was having problems with before. If you're having any sort of hydraulic problem at all, or even if you aren't, I'd recommend it.

This will be my next mod. I've heard nothing but good things about them. My buddy said they raised the price 20 bucks. Oh well its still worth it from the sounds of things. Glad you like it man!

We appreciate the kind words BirdsSince16 (and the business!)

So glad you're enjoying our kit.

We had a price increase recently, but we're also running a group purchase right now for LS1tech Members that offers some serious savings until 12/16/11: https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-tr...save-74-a.html

+1 all day! Threw a major competitor in there with no luck, then installed a Tick with flawless results! And really I don't know how it happened, but my Tick fell into place with virtually no effort! TICK FTMFW!

Are the shims usually needed for the install?

Not for the master cylinder install, no. They're nice to have on hand for any clutch install though!
