Default My Shifting Issues and the Tick Adjustable Master Cylinder

So i was having the common shifting problem at high rpms. I had done the drill mod and everything when i replaced my broke MC (a couple months after i got a new clutch) and put in a cheap stock replacement. It was never good. The clutch didn't disengage until the pedal was pushed in the majority of the way. THEN, recently, when i start my car up after it sitting overnight i could not get into any gear until it completely warmed up for like 20 minutes. It never shifted that smooth either.

Last night i finally got a Tick Performance Adjustable Master Cylinder installed. First off the clutch now disengages when you push the pedal just a little bit. It is stiffer but i don't mind. Shifting in general is much smoother. I can now shift fast at high rpms again, FINALLY. And as soon as i start the car i can shift into any gear now.

Cliffs: Tick MC fixed every single shifting problem i had and made everything about shifting better. I'm loving it.

Great product guys!

Hmmmm, it's making me think that it's time to ditch my Mcleod and put a better MC in there.

More positive results! Excellent news guys - I'm glad everybody is loving these things as much as we are.

Just think - if GM had used a setup like this from the factory, we'd never be able to do as many T56 rebuilds as we do... Looks like proper clutch disengagement is the key to a long lasting, great shifting T56.
