Default LS7 Clutch, Tick MC adjuster and Bleeder, new slave

All done with the install and test drive.
The clutch feels great, the Tick is amazing!
2 things I read about installing the Tick MC that made the install a breeze in 20 min. 1- Pull the black wire loom up as far as you can. I used a strap with a s hook and tied it off. 2 stick it down upside down, then as you get it down there, turn it . I'm sure you can do the install with out these 2 ways, but I was by myself and it worked for me.
I bled the MC first disconnected from the slave by myself as Tick recommends in the sticky. Then I bled with the Tick speed bleeder. Then I used my wife with her pumping 3-5 times and holding, then I would crack the Tick bleeder. Never really got alot of air and I installed the Tick MC in dry.
My clutch pedal is probably 1-2 inches below the brake pedal. From a stop the pedal grabs quick once I start to release the clutch. All 6 gears shift with no notchy feeling. Very smooth. Time to clean up all my mess! Very glad I bought the LS7 clutch and the Tick MC and Tick speed bleeder.
Big thanks to Philbo Baggins,Tick, ,SDPC and everyone that posted their opinion on the different clutches. I know the Monsters and Spec clutches are great, but I only needed the LS7.

So it did end up that your Master cylinder was leaking and causing the problems?

Yes, and it was brand new. Either it was crap, or I damaged it with all the pumping of the pedal I did.
