Are you saying Tick uses a GM master? If so thats not correct. Its actually a TILTON universal brake/clutch master cylinder. You can pick those up from summit for around 100 bucks but you wont have the line needed to go to the slave.

Im pretty sure he meant the slave..... And if you buy the Tilton from summit, the line from the master to the slave isnt your only problem. You also need to mount it via. a custom bracket. I dont think you'll have a gravity hook up for the reservoir either, you'd need to plumb for that.

Im running an Autozone slave cylinder, and it seems to be working fine. I ordered a GM unit, and have it sitting on the shelf just in case. When I install my TICK master cylinder, if I find things arent working correctly, Ill put the GM slave cylinder in just to be certain.

If you are instaling a new slave unit, I HIGHLY recommend a remote bleeder from either Tick or LPP.... They are great for bleeding the clutch. I can completely flush my system in like 15 minutes without ever getting down on the ground or even getting dirty. Wonderful little tool.

Not to burst your bubble Tick was having a Group buy on those cylinder and they come with remote bleeder lines. for like 300. FYI.Don't know if you saw that or not.

I just installed the TICK MC/GM slave along with a Competition Clutch/Flywheel on a stock '00 SS. I only have a couple of hundred miles on the clutch so I can not offer any performance reviews. However, daily driving the car is way more enjoyable! I have not missed any gears or had any grind since i put these parts in. They are definitely worth the $

Our Adjustable Master Cylinder kit and a GM Slave is the best, quickest shifting setup available for these cars.

Also they dont come with the remote bleeder unless the GP count gets to 50... Just wanted to clarify that. Ide give Joey a call and see if they can put him into the GP...he'll just have to wait til the 27th for it to ship.

I wouldn't short change yourself now. I ordered my Tick MC on this group purchase here because I wanted a top notch piece. Your thread title is named "Best slave and master cylinder", well, the Tick MC is the BEST from everything I've read and other reviews. So basically you got the best, don't throw it away because it's a little more coin that a stock piece. Although I can't vouch for it personally, Tick's MC and GM's MC are not "likely the same thing", not by a long shot.

For the most part, you get what you pay for.
